1. Situation & Challenges

01

CNX Transaction Partners is a mid-sized M&A boutique focused on company sales. In the early stages of mandates—especially during acquisition and deal origination—fast and well-founded company analyses are crucial.

Before using StrategyBridge AI, these analyses were primarily manual. A larger team of analysts and interns researched information across the internet, individual databases, and publicly available sources.

Key challenges included:

High time expenditure for research and consolidation of information

Uncertain planning—analyses could take hours or days

Limited database access, as many solutions were expensive and uneconomical for a boutique

Different sources with conflicting results

Media breaks and error-prone processes

In practice, this sometimes meant analyses were shortened or even omitted—resulting in noticeable compromises in the quality of client engagement.

2. Use & Impact (Afterwards)

02

Today, CNX Transaction Partners primarily uses StrategyBridge AI in acquisition and the early phase of company analysis.

The tool is used for:

Quick initial analyses of potential mandates

Well-founded preparation of pitch presentations

Company valuations based on comparable multiples

Longlist creation for potential buyers or targets

Market and competitor analyses to position a company

Impact in daily work:

Significantly higher speed, especially under time pressure

Predictable analyses, with reliable results delivered quickly

More comprehensive analyses without shortcuts or omissions

Unified data source instead of consolidating multiple separate sources

A concrete example: a pitch presentation had to be prepared within three days. With StrategyBridge AI, a complete, well-founded analysis was delivered—without all-nighters and without compromising quality. The pitch was won.
