Signals

Find companies that were just acquired, or that just acquired one

Coolie's Merger & Acquisition signal finds companies on either side of a recent deal: the company that was acquired, or the company that acquired it, whichever you choose as the lead. Being bought is when contracts come up for review and the people who chose the current tools may stop deciding. Coolie keeps the companies that fit your ideal customer profile, finds the decision makers and scores each lead; for the leads you pick, it writes a research brief and a personalized email and LinkedIn sequence.

How the Merger & Acquisition signal works

  1. Choose which side is the lead

    The company that was acquired, or the company that acquired it. Pick the buyer when you sell to whoever now holds the budget.

  2. Set a deal size, or don't

    A minimum and a maximum in US dollars narrow the deals. Leave both empty to include the deals announced without a price, which is most of them.

  3. It keeps the companies that fit your ICP

    Your ideal customer profile (industry, company size, location) filters the companies before anyone is contacted.

  4. It finds the decision makers

    At each company, Coolie looks for the people whose job titles match your ICP, and gives each lead a score.

  5. It researches the leads you pick

    For the leads you choose, Coolie writes a research brief (the company's news, the person, the reason to write now) and a personalized email and LinkedIn sequence.

  6. It writes and sends from your own accounts

    Email and LinkedIn steps go out from your own mailbox and LinkedIn account, spread over your working hours. You approve each message, or let the agent run on autopilot.

Why a deal is a buying moment

  • The acquired company's contracts come up for review as it moves onto its new owner's tools and processes.
  • The people who chose the current tools may no longer be the ones who decide.
  • The buyer has a new company to bring onto its systems: people, suppliers and data.

Funding or acquisition?

Funding finds companies that raised money; this signal finds companies that changed hands. Both bring new budgets and new plans, and both can run in the same agent.

Example (fictional)

You sell an HR platform and choose the acquired company as the lead.

Coolie finds Tallis Engineering, 180 employees in France, bought last month by a larger industrial group.

It finds its HR Director and its CFO, scores both, and once you pick them drafts an email about bringing two teams onto one system.

Every company and person in this example is invented.
