Spearhead Corp Dev

The luxury of choice in M&A: human-first, AI-driven sourcing and qualifying of proprietary M&A deals on the buy-side, at scale. Spearhead enables active large strategics and PE firms to see more opportunities and close more off-market deals with more certainty, worldwide. Located in Toronto, Johannesburg and Bengaluru our team of 30+ seasoned dealmakers and researchers expertly curate, connect with, and advance deal opportunities for our clients in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. We become an extension of our clients' investment / corp dev teams. It is our deeply-held belief that deal origination will and must remain human-first. We also believe that our significant investments in AI/ML, technology, process engineering, databases and advanced lead generation techniques, much of which is proprietary, enable our deal teams to do what they do best, at scale, worldwide. As we like to say, ‘just pick up the phone'. Our interactions with the business owners with whom we speak on behalf of our clients are always personalized, thoughtful and memorable. It is the only way—any other approach would not do justice to our clients' exceptional brands and reputations. Spearhead is backed by FirePower Capital, a mid-market private capital and advisory firm headquartered in Toronto, Canada. FirePower has completed over 125 transactions since inception in 2012.
