DeepSearch announced on the 12th that its M&A platform, "Listing," has been selected as a new private partner for the "Public-Private Partnership M&A Platform" operated by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Korea Technology Finance Corporation). This selection is part of a government-supported project to promote mergers and acquisitions (M&A) among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and venture companies. It is unusual for a technology-based M&A platform to be included in the public M&A support system.
The Korea Technology Finance Corporation's "Public-Private Partnership M&A Platform" identifies small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in need of M&A and supports deal completion by connecting with partner organizations. Private partners are selected based on rigorous criteria, including M&A arranging track record and the presence of specialized personnel. The inclusion of this listing marks an official recognition of the capabilities of this technology-based M&A platform.
Existing platforms include major accounting firms such as Samil PwC and Samjung KPMG as partners. Listing differentiates itself by adding technological prowess and a data-driven approach, enabling faster and more efficient M&A matching and deal structuring for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Listing is a collaborative structure comprised of certified public accountants from global accounting firms and experts with experience in investment firms and IT companies. Its unique strength lies in supporting the entire M&A process, including valuation, due diligence, and brokerage. In particular, its platform, which combines data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies, enables it to precisely identify transaction opportunities and enhance matching accuracy.
Kim Jae-yoon, CEO of DeepSearch, said, “This selection is the result of official recognition from a public institution of the technological prowess and M&A expertise that Listing has accumulated,” and added, “We will actively fulfill our role as a platform to help small and medium-sized enterprises secure growth opportunities through M&A.”
