Scend is an AI-native research platform for M&A and private markets, founded by Anirudh Sathya and Yijie Feng. Its agentic search runs live across websites, databases, maps, and third-party data APIs, and for each requested cell it locates supporting documents, structures the answer, and links the evidence, replacing static company databases and spreadsheet-driven target lists.
Core workflows include deal sourcing and origination, buyer and investor discovery, market research, market mapping, and company and contact enrichment. Customers span private equity and growth equity, corporate development, search funds, investment banks, M&A and executive-search advisors, consulting, and sales and GTM teams. Plans are credit-metered subscriptions with unlimited seats, and the enterprise tier adds API access, CRM integrations, and custom deployment; the platform is SOC 2 Type II certified.
