The operator reality
Most deals price low not because the business is weak — but because the data isn't legible.
Buyers anchor on what they can verify. Without a clean data room, an evidence-backed readiness score, and a transparent comp set, the discount stacks fast — sometimes 30–50% off what the asset would otherwise command.
Rainmaker collapses that gap. The same ML that ranks listings shows operators exactly where their multiple is leaking, sequences the vendor work to fix it, and writes the diligence narrative the acquirer already wanted to see.
Built on the same scoring graph acquirers use to filter inbound.
Commercial model
Aligned economics. Transparent fees.
Rainmaker only wins when a deal closes or a vendor engagement delivers. Fee schedules, success-fee math, and compliance gates are visible end-to-end — no surprise invoices, no buried economics.
Capital-efficient onramp.
Standard tier launches your workspace without retainers or upfront seat fees. Pay on value — vendor engagements, success fees on close, or premium intelligence tier.
Aligned success fees.
Modern Lehman success-fee schedule runs automatically at closing. M&A Broker exemption snapshot freezes on signature for auditable compliance.
Growth-equity option.
Select operators qualify for a CyberGen co-investment — equity-aligned operational lift instead of a consulting bill. Available by invitation post-assessment.

What's inside the machine
Four engines. One match graph.
Every counterparty interaction trains the next. The longer the platform runs, the sharper the matches, the tighter the comp set, the smaller the spread between asking and closing.
AI Matching Graph
Anonymized listings scored against acquirer mandates across 18 dimensions. Saved searches run daily/weekly with diff-aware digests.
Real-time Comp Intelligence
Every closing on the platform auto-publishes an anonymized comp. Sector multiples, transaction velocity, buyer demand — refreshed continuously.
Secure Deal Infrastructure
Tenant-scoped RLS, encrypted vault for AI keys, mutual-NDA gated rooms, audit log on every privileged action. Trust as the default state.
Predictive valuation
Where your multiple lives today —
and where the graph says it could go.
Pick your sector. The ML estimator returns a baseline multiple range and a modernized projection — both anchored on the live comp graph, both cited.

The Rainmaker method
From signal to signed close.
Four stages. One graph. The same ML powers every step — so what you see in your assessment is what acquirers see when they shortlist.
- 01 · Assess
Quantify the business.
AI ingests financials, ops, customer signals. Out comes an evidence-backed readiness score plus a 7-dimension scorecard buyers actually trust.
- 02 · Match
ML-driven counterparty search.
Anonymized listings scored against thousands of buyer mandates. Daily and weekly digests surface only fits above your threshold.
- 03 · Diligence
Secure deal rooms.
Mutual NDA gating, RLS-enforced document access, real-time chat, LOI revision tracking, and AI-summarized evidence packs.
- 04 · Close
Execute and capture.
Closing tracker drives escrow events, success-fee math runs Modern Lehman automatically, every closing publishes back to the comp graph.
How to get started
Onboarding measured in days, not quarters.
Each side of the platform — founder, acquirer, advisor, vendor — follows the same four-step rhythm. The graph does the rest.
- 01
Request access.
Tell us your role — founder, acquirer, advisor, vendor. Approved accounts are provisioned within 24 hours with a tenant-isolated workspace.
- 02
Calibrate the graph.
Run the AI assessment (founder) or set your mandate (acquirer). The ML calibrates against your sector before any matching kicks off.
- 03
Match, room, close.
Anonymized matches surface in your inbox. Mutual interest opens a secure room. LOI, escrow, and success-fee math execute end-to-end.
- 04
Feed the loop.
Every closing publishes back to the comp graph. Sector intelligence sharpens. The next match — yours or someone else's — gets smarter.
Why this works
Not a listing site. Not a CRM.
A live matching graph.
ML-native, not bolt-on.
The same scoring graph powers the founder's readiness report, the acquirer's saved search, and the advisor's pipeline view. One model, three lenses, zero handoff loss.
Anonymized by design.
Listings, mandates, and rooms reveal identity only at mutual NDA. Cross-tenant matching runs through SECURITY DEFINER helpers — never raw cross-reads.
Auditable execution.
Every privileged action writes to an immutable audit log. M&A Broker exemption snapshots freeze on engagement. Compliance built into the rails.
Signals from the network
Outcomes, not anecdotes.
Aggregated platform metrics — individual deal details are surfaced only with counterparty permission. Methodology aligned with the comp set on /intelligence.

Rainmaker showed me a buyer pool I hadn't seen in three years of conversations. The match score made the outreach a non-decision.
