Does anyone have a review or thoughts on Inven.ai? I’m doing a demo, but curious if people are/have used it and how much they’ve paid. If anyone is using it and wants the referral fee (if I sign up, happy to do so). I’m a US based traditional 2nd time searcher focused on SaaS (acquired and sold a SaaS company before).

I'm currently using it. Overall positive. Pluses: I think it a good tool to add to search as it helps conduct the search in one easy place. The platform is easy to use and the contact finder, enrichment is helpful. Essentially you get many of the tools that are sometimes split up across many different platforms/providers all in one in a clean package - owner name, website, LinkedIn, contact information, business description, address, estimated revenue etc.. I can split all my searches by industry and have different lists. Pricing is decent.

Improvements I'd like to see: It doesn't always find ALL the companies in the niche you are looking for. There are some of the companies I know of but don't get returned in search. Additionally, sometimes the generated list starts to veer greatly away from the initial niche searched for as you progress down the list. This sometimes gets better when you use an example company but still needs some more improvements. The contact exporting should allow you export unverified contacts as well . Revenue estimates seem off sometimes.

I did a demo. In regards to granularity I think it is keyword based search/refinement so it ended up pulling up a lot of companies that were in the same sector, or had the same keywords on their website, but not in the specific niche I was looking for. So would require a lot more further filtering. It seemed to work a lot better when I used an example company I knew of as the basis for the search (find similar companies).
