How a week is built

Your thesis in. A call list out. Every Monday.

You describe who you buy and what ready to talk means. The research reads the public record on every company that fits, grades each name against your bar, and sends the week.

  1. 01 · The mandate

    Say who you buy

    Sector, geography, size, and the signals that make an owner ready to talk. Two minutes, in plain words.

    • Sector · B2B software, Israel
    • Size · 20 to 200 people
    • Ready means · succession, carve-out, banker
  2. 02 · The sweep

    The record is read

    Registries, filings, newswires and trade press on every company that fits. Not a database query. A read, with the source kept.

    • 29 companies read
    • 11 registry items · 19 evidence items
    • 8 licensed · 24 open sources
  3. 03 · The week

    Who to call, and why now

    The names that clear six checks are Calls. The rest wait on watch with the reason they were held. You mark each one in two minutes.

Not a database

A database tells you who exists. The week tells you who to call.

How a Call is made

Six checks. A name that misses one waits.

  • A verified operating companyFunds, advisers and public groups never enter the list.
  • Size and geography verifiedAgainst your mandate, from the record, not from a guess.
  • A source about the company itselfA list it appears on is not a source. A page about it is.
  • A dated signalA sale process, a banker hired, a succession, an owner stepping back.
  • A second source, or a registry recordOne cite is a lead. Two, or an official filing, is evidence.
  • The bar, with enough channels answeringThe score clears the bar, and enough independent channels answered this week.

In their words

“In my years leading acquisitions at Volaris, the edge was always seeing which companies were ready to move before anyone else did. Xenaris is the first tool I've seen that systematizes that signal.”

Ariel Cohen, Former Group CEO, Volaris Group
