Our Story

Sourcing is a People Business, Technology Can Help

The Exponere.ai founding partners coalesced around a single guiding idea: find what works, and then deliver it better and faster than anyone else. Our decades of combined experience supporting private equity leaders seeking a competitive edge sparked our signature product: tech-enabled yet purely human proprietary deal flow.

In the subsequent years Exponere.ai iterated on this core offering–driving up the value to clients while achieving a blend of efficiency and automation that now allows us to offer this service to firms of all sizes and across all verticals.

"Exponere" plays on the latin term to uncover what is hidden or to explain. This applies to not only our client value proposition but also our continuous internal improvements to blend human expertise with the latest tech enablers.

We celebrate and appreciate our founding story. But we're even more excited about Now…and Next…
