Eilla AI

Eilla started by building AI for the world's largest M&A firms, and it now applies that same technology to a market it saw being underserved: small and medium businesses. Below a certain company size, traditional processes cut corners and quality suffers, not because advisors don't care but because the fees cannot support the large teams a top-tier process requires. Eilla's premise is that AI removes that constraint, making trillion-dollar-quality execution available at SMB scale.

The technology does three things particularly well. First, buyer identification: an AI screens more than eight million companies, scoring acquisition history, synergies and financial capacity to find the best-fit acquirers. Second, materials: equity story, teaser, CIM and management presentations are built to the standard of the largest deals without the usual months of work. Third, data: Eilla maintains extensive internal data on what buyers are actually looking for, shared directly by those buyers, so it can match companies with precision.

The firm pairs this platform with human expertise. Former vice chairmen and managing directors from the largest investment banks advise and support the process, and Eilla reports more than $100 billion in transaction value executed by its team, 50+ cross-border transactions closed, and 18+ years of combined M&A experience on every deal it leads. It focuses on sectors it understands from the inside, such as vertical software, marketing services, AI platforms, IT services, accounting and law.
