DeepSearch Signs MOU with Caspian Capital for M&A Financing Collaboration

DeepSearch (CEO Jae-yoon Kim) is collaborating with investment specialists to address the key challenge of M&A transactions: financing.

DeepSearch announced on the 1st that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with investment firm Caspian Capital (Co-CEOs Seunghyun Lee and Dongwoo Nam) to identify promising M&A deals and facilitate successful investment. This agreement aims to prevent deal failures due to lack of funding and revitalize the market by connecting companies pursuing M&A through the DeepSearch platform with specialized investment funds.

Under the agreement, DeepSearch will identify promising companies in need of financing among listings on its platform and recommend companies with confirmed M&A intent to Caspian Capital. Caspian Capital will prioritize review of recommended companies and, if eligible for investment, expedite the review process to execute funds, thereby increasing the likelihood of a successful deal.

DeepSearch anticipates that this partnership will contribute to the expansion of the "Embedded Startup (ETA)" ecosystem, a key area of focus for the company. It will address the funding barrier, a major obstacle for aspiring entrepreneurs equipped with the technology and capabilities to acquire existing companies, thereby supporting the innovative companies' resurgence.

The two companies agreed to continue close cooperation, including establishing a dedicated M&A fund and sharing market trends and industry information, to achieve common goals depending on future M&A market conditions.

Kim Jae-yoon, CEO of DeepSearch, said, “In the small and medium-sized M&A market, information asymmetry has been resolved through data technology, but there have been cases where excellent buyers have given up on acquisitions due to financial difficulties.” He added, “Our collaboration with Caspian Capital will connect data and capital, creating an environment where acquiring entrepreneurs can pursue management innovation without worrying about funding.”
