ToltIQ and Deal Engine Announce Partnership to Connect Deal Sourcing and Due Diligence Platforms
Admin
NEW YORK and LONDON – Feb. 12, 2026
ToltIQ, the leading AI-powered platform for private equity due diligence, and Deal Engine, the market monitoring data engine for private markets, today announced a strategic partnership that connects deal origination with diligence execution for private equity firms, corporate M&A teams, and family offices
The partnership enables firms to carry critical market and deal intelligence seamlessly across the deal lifecycle. Deal teams typically rely on fragmented tool stacks that create loss of context, rework, and delays as deals progress. By bringing Deal Engine's sourcing and market intelligence into ToltIQ's diligence environment, the partnership addresses that challenge, allowing firms to maintain continuity from earliest pipeline development through final investment decisions.
"When building your dealmaking architecture, Deal Engine gets you from idea to data room and ToltIQ takes you from NDA through confirmatory diligence," said Ed Brandman, CEO of ToltIQ. "Investment teams don't need disconnected tools that force them to re-enter context at each stage. This partnership recognizes that the intelligence you gather during origination should inform your diligence approach, and the patterns you see in diligence should refine your sourcing criteria."
"Private market firms need a joined-up data architecture," said Phil Westcott, CEO of Deal Engine. "This partnership connects a firm’s market deal intelligence and execution insights to support the full journey from idea to investment committee decision, helping teams apply what they already know, earlier and more effectively."
Beginning in March 2026, Deal Engine can be deployed alongside the ToltIQ platform, allowing Tolt IQ users to benefit from live market intelligence and context during the diligence and execution process.
Users gain the ability to track live market context on each target, their competitors, suppliers, and customers, enriching the formal diligence processes. As companies move under NDA and enter data rooms, teams gain immediate access to outside-in market intelligence alongside internal documents, supporting accelerated ramp-up, more targeted analysis, and stronger investment committee narratives.
For Deal Engine customers, the ToltIQ integration enables firms to extend their
knowledge integration architecture deeper into the deal cycle, benefitting from ToltIQ’s market leading application of AI to streamline the diligence process.
The partnership enables firms to:
Reduce diligence ramp-up time by starting with market context already
gathered during pre-deal execution sourcing and market monitoring
Apply lessons learned in diligence back to sourcing criteria without manual
data transfer
Maintain consistent competitive intelligence from initial target identification
through the confirmatory diligence process
"Deal Engine and ToltIQ have each built strong positions in their respective workflow stages," said Rick Kushel, Managing Partner at FINTOP Capital. "As a shared investor, we believe this integration creates additional value for firms looking to reduce friction across the deal lifecycle while maintaining distinct strengths at each phase."
