PE-Nexus LLC has launched PE-Nexus.com, a specialized professional networking community aimed at facilitating interaction, communication, and deal flow exchange between M&A professionals. PE-Nexus is an invitation-only platform which combines a secure deal marketplace with a professional networking community, specifically for the M&A industry.

Company officials claim that less than one month since its launch, PE-Nexus is being used by over 200 private equity groups, investment banks, and corporate M&A departments.

"We want PE-Nexus to become the Facebook (News - Alert) of M&A," stated co-founder Anthony Hill. "Most everyone in the M&A profession acknowledges that the process of finding and buying or selling middle-market companies can be dramatically more efficient. Private equity groups and bankers spend thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars to scour the globe for the 'right' deal. There's clearly an easier way to accomplish this and, from its inception, PE-Nexus was designed to provide exactly that."

PE-Nexus' mission is to unite the fragmented M&A industry with one global, web-based, solution that harnesses the power and reach of the Internet to catalyze deal sourcing, deal marketing, and principal-to-principal communication.

The company’s deal marketplace allows members to post anonymous, bite-sized listings about companies seeking debt, equity, or a full or partial sale. These listings are cross-referenced with the transaction criteria and saved preferences of hundreds of institutional investors or acquirers, creating a real-time match-making service between buyers and sellers, albeit for multi-million-dollar companies.

Superimposed over the marketplace is a robust professional networking platform which complements the exchange of deals by encouraging buyers and sellers to communicate with one another directly, thereby alleviating the need for time-consuming dial-out campaigns and mass email blasts, as well as frequent and expensive business trips and trade association events.

PE-Nexus currently caters exclusively to qualified private equity groups, corporate M&A departments, elite family offices, investment banks, M&A advisory firms, and high-end business brokers. In addition, owners or officers of middle-market companies contemplating a capital raise or a partial or full sale of their company are welcome to apply for membership.
