FAQs
Game-Changing Solutions That Fit Your Business — Even If You're Not Tech-Savvy.
Discover answers to common questions about Scouting Brief and the Affinity Fields™ framework. We provide clarity and insight to help you make sharper, more strategic acquisition decisions — even if you’re not deep into M&A.
What is Scouting Brief?
Scouting Brief delivers high-signal business acquisition alerts across Europe, using a proprietary framework called Affinity Fields™ to surface only those opportunities that align with a buyer’s strategic growth direction.
How is this different from traditional listings platforms?
Most deal platforms start with what’s for sale. We start with what grows you.
Instead of browsing endless listings, we help buyers scout directionally — based on expansion fit, strategic logic, and acquisition value, not just sector codes.
Who is this for?
Scouting Brief is built for buy-side professionals:
-
PE scouts
-
Acquisition entrepreneurs
-
Regional aggregators
-
Corporate development teams
...and any organization serious about scaling through acquisition.
​What types of deals do you include?
We scout active, relevant businesses for sale across CEE and broader Europe — typically within SME and mid-market size ranges. We prioritize signals like seller intent, strategic positioning, and expansion value.
How often do you send alerts?
Our Scouting Alerts Radar delivers shortlists of 3–5 high-signal deals filtered through a single Affinity Field.
Frequency depends on your plan:
-
Free tier: 1 curated brief/month
-
Pro tier: 3 briefs/week
-
Premium: Custom watchlists, deep dives, and verified intros
Can I request a custom radar or sector focus?
Yes. We work with select clients to build custom Affinity Field Radars — tailored to their strategic growth logic. If you’re scouting a specific industry or expansion zone, let’s talk.
Are you looking for strategic partners?
Yes. As part of our innovation roadmap, we welcome collaboration with:
-
EU-funded innovation programs
-
Business accelerators
-
Strategic angel investors
-
Research collaborators in M&A intelligence
What is an Affinity Field™ and why does it matter?
An Affinity Field™ is a directional growth vector — not just a market category.
It maps where a buyer can expand most strategically (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal), and helps us filter listings not by industry code, but by value creation logic. It’s what makes our scouting smarter, faster, and more relevant.
Do you offer pilots or early access for institutional partners?
Yes. We’re actively opening pilot partnerships with funders, accelerators, and acquisition labs. Early-stage partners get access to exclusive scouting layers and the ability to shape future tools aligned with their needs.
