AI tools for deal pros

Source smarter. Diligence faster. Win more deals.

Two purpose-built AI tools for M&A advisors, business brokers, search funds & PE — one to build your target list, one to research every company. Both free for 7 days.

Here's what we keep coming back to: the best software companies of the next decade won't be built for everyone. They'll be built for someone specific — a niche that's been overlooked, underserved, and handed generic tools that sort of work.

"The most valuable tools feel like they were built just for you."

Business brokers, M&A advisors, search fund operators, private equity teams — these are people who work incredibly hard deals with almost no purpose-built technology. They're doing deep research across a dozen browser tabs, sourcing leads from spreadsheets, verifying businesses by hand. The work is high-stakes and the tooling is embarrassingly thin. That's the gap we're filling.

We named it BrokerHero for a reason. In every deal, the broker is the one doing the unglamorous work — finding the lead, qualifying the business, building trust over months. They deserve tools that make them look like heroes to their clients. That's the job. Not to replace the human — but to give them an unfair advantage.

We're not trying to build the next Salesforce. We're building a small, focused suite — each tool solving one specific, painful problem — that compounds into something genuinely useful for your practice. Small team. Tight focus. Real problems.

Hi, I'm Joe.
Co-Founder

Serial entrepreneur with an MBA from UNC Chapel Hill. I've built and scaled companies from the ground up — including Eagle's Catch, Iowa Venture of the Year 2018 — and advise startups on fundraising and capital strategy as a Director at Jennings Kallen Advisors. I came to BrokerHero because I've lived the frustration of high-stakes deal work done without the right tools.

Your next deal starts with better tools.

Pick where you are in the deal — build a list of targets, or research the one in front of you. Both are free for 7 days, no commitment.
