Monthly Webinar: AI in the Buy-Side M&A Process – live with Navigator Group

Everyone is talking about AI agents in M&A – few have seen them work on a real deal. That's exactly what our next Monthly Webinar is about.

On October 30, 2026, Christian Muschick (Navigator Group) and Deniz Schütz (StrategyBridgeAI) will show how AI already supports the buy-side M&A process today – from spotting the first market signals to due diligence. Live, not just in theory.

What it's about

The webinar “AI in the Buy-Side M&A Process: Opportunities, Practical Experience, Limits” brings practice and platform together. Christian Muschick shares how Navigator Group uses AI agents across its deal processes – in sourcing, outreach, due diligence and legal documents. He openly discusses what works, where the limits are, and why he relies on fixed, reliable workflows for process automation rather than “AI everywhere”.

Deniz Schütz then shows how AI can be integrated simply and securely into existing M&A processes – with source references, human-in-the-loop, and clear human accountability.

The highlight: at the start of the session, we hand an Info Memo to an AI agent. While we talk, the process runs in the background – and before the webinar ends, we present the result.
