The Deal divested to With Intelligence

Delinian is divesting The Deal to With Intelligence, a UK-based, international provider of data and intelligence for alternative assets, private markets and public funds.

With deep, insightful content that is essential to deal practitioner workflow, The Deal’s high-quality product and strong brand resonance – particularly with the US Middle-market – makes this an excellent fit for With Intelligence, who will expand their US market reach and platform depth with this acquisition.

Commenting on the transaction, Kurt Viehl, Managing Director at The Deal, said:

“The combination of The Deal’s industry-leading insights and With Intelligence’s comprehensive database creates an offering unseen in the market. We are incredibly excited for this next phase of growth as part of the With Intelligence family”

Charlie Kerr, Founder and CEO of With Intelligence commented:

“We are excited to announce this acquisition.  Adding The Deal to the With Intelligence offering allows us to provide an unrivalled solution for deal makers and further expand our reach within the US M&A mid-market.”

Andrew Pinder, Group CEO at Delinian, added:

“The Deal, with its outstanding reputation, differentiated proposition and strong presence in the active US M&A mid-market, is a fantastic fit for With Intelligence.  We are extremely pleased that The Deal will be able to continue to develop and become part of the expanding platform of With Intelligence.  We look forward to following their continued success.”

Ian Wood, Partner and Head of the Investment Team at Epiris, commented:

“When we invested in Delinian, we were focused on investing in each of the brands to improve their strategic value, before then finding the right partner for each to continue its growth.  This result for The Deal is another example of this – a brand which is a leader in its market which we are selling to a highly complementary strategic buyer to accelerate the plans that Andrew, Kurt and their teams have mapped.”

The transaction is expected to complete at the end of February.  No further details of the transaction will be released.
