Reading the graph
Reading the graph
Not a five-page summary. DFX interprets your mandate, screens the graph, ranks every candidate on what it has actually done, refuses the ones that do not fit and says why, finds the right person at each one, and delivers a document to the standard of a diligence memo: evidence rows, timelines, capital structure, who should care, the decision that changes, kill tests and sources. Preview what DFX finds before you pay.
Fifty investors ranked on what they have actually funded at your stage and in your sector, the partner who led, and a verified way to reach them.
The lenders that have funded deals your size in your sector, read from BDC schedules and the deal tape, with the marks on their books and who they lend beside.
Private equity platforms and strategic buyers ranked on observed add-on and platform activity in your sector, with the deal team and their lenders.
Public plans, endowments and consultants with commitments on the record to strategies like yours, their pacing, and who gates the decision.
Offices with an observed record of investing in your strategy, direct or through managers, with the people who decide.
Aggregators and platforms with observed acquisitions like yours, their pace, and their capital.
Advisors and teams showing validated mobility indicators in your markets, the firms losing people, and the transitions on the record.
Funds, lenders and family offices active in your property type and market, from the vehicles they filed and the loans on the record.
A hundred companies matching your thesis, with ownership, sponsor and lender exposure, hold period and the signals that say the owner may transact.
Every company in your book against the lenders' marks, the maturity wall, PIK and non-accrual signals, and the cross-lender deterioration no single tape shows.
A market mapped from the record: who owns what, who finances it, who is buying, and where the capital is moving.
What your competitors have raised, bought, lent, lost and filed, dated and sourced, and what changed this quarter.
Which allocators are increasing your asset class, which consultants gate them, which peers closed and on what, and where you sit against them.
A market's owners, lenders, maturities and funds on one map, with the assets coming due and who holds the paper.
A cross-source investigation to the Boston standard: evidence rows, timelines, owner trees, capital structures, who should care, the decision that changes, kill tests and external validation.
Every fifty-target report is one document at one price: 50 ranked targets with the evidence, the refusals and the filings, the right person at each with provenance and the relationship pairs, for $495. Payment up front. If the report is not useful for your stage, sector or market when delivered, DFX refunds it in full. White-label delivery (your logo, cover, colours, disclaimer and contact details) is $750 per report and included on Team and Enterprise.
The spine is the same whether the question is fifty investors or a hundred acquisition targets. The graph decides what goes in each section; the narrative explains it.
Mandate, query plan, candidate universe, filters, ranking, evidence, contact enrichment, validation, kill tests, narrative, visuals, report. Every ranked target carries its basis: observed deal history, a computed match with reasons, an observed capital relationship, or a stated mandate, labelled as such and ranked below behaviour.
Pro on any vertical and the Data Factory ($599 a month) include one deep report a month; Team includes three. You write the mandate once: strategy, market, target universe, competitors, portfolio. Each month the report answers what changed: new targets, new capital, new risks, dropped targets, why something moved in the ranking, and what DFX now knows that it did not last month.
