Find targets faster. Close more deals
Zorro gives investment banks the edge in private markets. Complete visibility of the UK market, proprietary company data, and faster execution, so your team finds the right targets first.
A charge expires, an owner changes, a director leaves. Zorro's agents watch 70+ of these signals across 6.5M UK companies around the clock, so you reach the company before the rest of the market.
By role
Built for every seat on the deal team
From the analyst building the longlist to the partner winning the business, Zorro gives each role its own edge. Set it once and it runs around the clock, learning from every deal.
✦01
Associates & Analysts
You jump between five tools, still miss companies, and start every search from scratch. Zorro screens all 6.5M UK companies in one pass, every name sourced, so your hours go on analysis and no one asks why a target was left off the list.
✦02
VPs & Directors
You can only run as many live processes as your team can resource. Zorro screens targets, maps buyers and drafts memos in parallel, so you carry more deals at once without adding headcount or burning out the desk.
✦03
Principals & Partners
Everyone pulls the same databases and pitches the same names. You win by seeing what they cannot. Zorro tracks 70+ signals across the UK market and surfaces the off-market opportunity before rivals, so you reach the client first with an angle no one else has.

Pitch-ready outputs
Walk in with the work already done
Longlist, screen and buyer map come out written up and sourced. Every figure traces back to a filing, so the analysis holds up in the room. Drop it into your own template instead of rebuilding from scratch.
How is Zorro different from Gain.pro, SourceScrub or Grata?
Those are deal-sourcing databases. Powerful, but you still do the work: you search, export, screen each name, write the memo and map the buyers yourself. Zorro is a fully autonomous agent framework. Describe the mandate in plain English and its agents screen all 6.5M UK companies on real filings, draft the investment memo, and map the buyer universe for you. The difference is a database you query versus a deal team that delivers the work.
What about Inven, Cyndx and the other AI deal-sourcing tools?
AI search hands you a longer list. Zorro finishes the job. Its agents take each name, qualify it against live data (ownership, charges, accounts, client concentration), draft the memo with every figure sourced, surface the likely buyers, and prepare the outreach. You get pitch-ready work, not another list to triage.
How is this different from PitchBook, Mergermarket or Beauhurst?
Those are capital-markets databases built for look-ups and dashboards, and thin on the long tail of private UK companies. Zorro is built for UK private-market origination, with Companies House depth on all 6.5M companies (charges, filings, ownership, director history) and it runs the origination workflow instead of leaving it to you.
What do you mean by a "fully autonomous agent framework"?
Zorro is an AI harness built on Anthropic, OpenAI and Google infrastructure: analyst, research, outreach and writer agents that work together. Launch thousands at once to screen targets, map buyers, write memos and draft outreach around the clock. They plug into 3,000+ tools (CRMs, email, LinkedIn, Slack) so it works like a full origination function from one platform, not a search box. Nothing goes out without human approval.
Can it really map the buyer universe?
Yes. Zorro reads transaction history and sector focus to surface the strategics and funds most likely to acquire, sorted by cheque size, geography and how recently they were active, so the buyer list is ready before the process starts.
How do you keep the analysis accurate enough to pitch?
Every figure traces back to a filing. Numbers come from structured data pulls, not generated text, and memos quote the documents they reference. The work holds up in the room and in front of the client.
Will it replace my team or my CRM?
No. Zorro does the grunt work (screening, first-draft memos, buyer maps) so your team spends its hours on judgement and relationships. It syncs two-way with Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive, so your pipeline stays where it already lives.
Is it compliant for regulated advisers?
Yes. ICO-registered controller, UK-hosted infrastructure, and data residency on request. Every data pull, memo and outreach event is logged in an exportable audit trail, and nothing sends without human sign-off.
Can I trial it on a live mandate?
Yes. Book a demo and we'll run a live scan against your deal criteria, so you see the actual longlist, memos and buyer map on companies you care about before you commit.
Be first to every deal
Zorro surfaces the opportunity while it is still off-market, so your team is in the room before the competition.
