Who we are

« M&A is like a wedding.
You have to find the right target — and be sure that it fits. »

That is what Rainmaker does, built by dealmakers in the tradition of François de Combret, a legendary Lazard rainmaker.

Rainmaker is built for anyone sourcing a deal — banker, investor, founder or advisor.

Why

Most M&A platforms provide data, extensive complex tools and overrated analysis.

Rainmaker answers a simple question:

Who could a company buy?

Rainmaker provides a clear direction based on data, history, market and trends — in under 10 seconds.

Our methodology

How Rainmaker reasons.

Every shortlist comes from a transparent process — read the way a dealmaker would.

1 Acquisition DNA
Each of an acquirer's real, sourced deals is analyzed across eight dimensions — category, customer, model, geography, size, strategic purpose and more.
2 Present context
That historical pattern is weighed against where the acquirer stands today — the current market and its trends.
3 Fit Score
Each company is scored 0–100 for how closely it matches that DNA and today's priorities, then ranked.
4 Evidence
Every match shows which dimensions align and links to the underlying deals — nothing hidden, nothing invented.
What we are not

Less is more.

What Rainmaker deliberately leaves out, so it stays fast, clear and trustworthy.

One function: acquirer → shortlist. No valuation, fundraising, diligence or integration.
2 No 30-page report
One page of insight, the evidence one click away.
3 No demo, no onboarding, no sales call
Type a name, get the answer.
4 No annual contract
Month to month. Cancel anytime.
5 No connectors, no CRM, no setup
Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

A published method.

A curated, accurate shortlist, not seventy million rows.

Never a claim a company is for sale.
