What corporate finance and m&a advisers use it for

Research company maturity

See funding histories: how many rounds, how long investors have held and how values have moved.

Study comparable deals

See likely acquisitions by sector, buyer type and estimated multiple of the last round.

Know the shareholders

See which funds hold stakes, so you know who will shape a sale.

Questions you can ask

Ask Pulse answers plain-English questions from Pulse’s own data, with links to the companies and investors behind each answer. For example:

  • Which software companies were likely acquired by trade buyers since 2023?
  • Which growth-stage companies have had the same investors for five years or more?
  • What multiples did early investors get on medtech exits?

Questions

How sure are the exit figures?

Exits are marked as unsure where the evidence is thin, and multiples are Pulse estimates.

Are angels shown?

No, the Company data plan shows companies and investment firms only.

Where does the data come from?

From official UK company records, which Pulse cleans, matches, values and connects with its own intelligence engine. Amounts and valuations are Pulse estimates: a strong guide, not audited figures.
