Built by people who spent nine years finding private companies.

We spent nine years helping 135 private equity firms, their portfolio companies and corporate development teams find companies to buy. Along the way we learnt how little reliable data exists on private companies, and how to build, enrich, classify and size it for tens of millions of them.

We also know the difference between the noise and the reality. The industry assumes that every good company is already being approached. A survey of 3,892 CEOs of relevant private companies says otherwise: in North America, 32% are approached constantly, and 33% hear from a buyer twice a year or less. A large part of the market is barely on anyone's list.

That experience shaped Scryn. We built a new dataset and a new intelligence on private companies, and put both directly in the hands of investment teams, so they can search, screen and decide for themselves, wherever and whenever it suits them.
