Move faster at every stage of the deal​

Arches connects private equity teams with industry experts to validate assumptions
and make better-informed investment decisions, from deal sourcing and due diligence to portfolio value creation.

Investment themes and due diligence

Explore emerging sectors, identify targets, test and validate investment assumptions with industry specialists, to give your deal team a stronger basis for investment decisions.

We assess market size, customer demand, competitive dynamics, and key value drivers to uncover opportunities and risks that may not be visible in standard diligence materials.

Test growth initiatives, benchmark performance, and identify bottlenecks with experts who have tackled similar challenges, helping portfolio teams prioritize resources.

Gather independent market feedback, assess competitive positioning, and validate growth opportunities to strengthen the equity story and support a more compelling exit case.

Faster answers for critical decisions

Internal analysis can map the opportunity, but only someone
who has already lived through it can tell you what actually happens next.

Always ready for time-sensitive diligence

Teams across regions, including night-shift coverage, mean your diligence keeps moving around the clock, so the deal never waits on us.

Niche experts sourced for your project

We recruit against your target, not a search index. We screen experts against your requirements and build a focused shortlist, so your team spends less time filtering profiles and more time on the diligence.

Pay per deal

Most targets you look at never close. Engage on the deal in front of you and a dead process costs you the work you used, with no annual pool to spend down.

Ready for compliance and LP review

Every call follows the same MNPI and conflict-of-interest protocols, so your compliance team can sign off, and you can show your LPs exactly who you spoke with and why.

A process designed for the deal timeline​

Every step scoped to take you from the mandate to findings ready for the IC, without slowing the deal down.

Step 2: Customize the service to your deal

We tailor every expert search to your brief,
with a qualified shortlist delivered within 24–48 hours.

Step 3: Put the insight to work

Access the expert insights, research, or talent your deal requires,
with our team supporting you from brief to delivery.

Target diligenced inside a 5-day exclusivity window
A PE firm needed operators who had actually run a target's category in China's industrial manufacturing sector, with five days left before their exclusivity period closed. Arches delivered a conflict-cleared shortlist within 24 hours, so the deal team walked into IC with first-hand validation instead of assumptions.
A cross-border deal team backed around the clock
A due diligence team spanning three time zones across Asia-Pacific needed expert calls scheduled overnight to keep pace with a competitive auction. Arches kept sourcing and scheduling moving through the night shift, so the process never lost a day to time zones.
20 operators sourced, calls booked within the week
A PE firm evaluating an F&B acquisition in the US needed operators who had actually run businesses in the target’s category. Arches sourced 20 qualified operators and booked calls with 3 of them, all within a week, giving the deal team direct market insight before making its investment decision.
