Who is Kairos built for?

Kairos is built for corporate development directors and VP-level deal leads at mid-market companies ($500M–$5B revenue) running 2–8 acquisitions per year, and boutique M&A advisory firm partners with 10–80 staff. Teams that have outgrown Excel but can't justify enterprise platform pricing.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. There is no six-month implementation project, no consultant required, and no data migration engagement. Kairos connects to your existing tools — Salesforce, HubSpot, Outlook, SharePoint, Google Workspace — and the AI begins working from your first deal.

How does the AI diligence feature work?

Kairos ingests documents from your data room — financial statements, management accounts, contracts, employment agreements — and surfaces issues, inconsistencies, and red flags automatically. You can also query your entire document set in natural language. The AI is trained on M&A-specific patterns, not general text.

How is Kairos priced compared to DealCloud or Datasite?

Kairos is transparently priced for mid-market teams — no six-figure annual commitment, no implementation fee. DealCloud typically starts at $80,000+ per year with a lengthy implementation. Kairos pricing is disclosed directly during the early access review process.

Is deal data secure on Kairos?

Yes. Kairos is SOC 2 Type II certified, uses AES-256 encryption at rest, enforces strict tenant data isolation, and maintains a full audit trail on all deal activity. M&A data confidentiality is foundational to how the platform is architected — not an afterthought.

What is the early access program?

Kairos is currently onboarding a select cohort of corporate development teams and boutique advisory firms before general availability. Early access members get dedicated onboarding, direct access to the product team, and input into the platform roadmap. Each application is reviewed personally.

Kairos AI: Meridian diligence stage — 3 open items flagged in management accounts. Response window closes Friday.

Illustrative pipeline — real data, unified view

The Problem

The $100M deal dies in a spreadsheet.

Corporate development teams running 4–8 acquisitions a year are doing it with a patchwork of tools that were never designed for M&A. CRM for contacts. Excel for pipeline tracking. Shared drives for diligence documents. Slack for deal status. Email for everything else.

Every week, deal leads spend hours stitching together these fragments just to answer a question the board will ask in 20 minutes.

Timing slips through the cracks

Founders choose the other buyer because your offer was two days late. The intelligence was there — it just wasn't surfaced when it mattered.

Institutional knowledge walks out the door

Every deal a team member worked lives in their head or their personal drive. When they leave, six months of sourcing context leaves with them.

Legacy platforms require legacy commitment

DealCloud and Datasite are priced for bulge bracket firms — six-figure annual contracts, six-month implementations, and a consultant on retainer before you can run a search.

The Platform

One system. Every stage of a deal.

Kairos is built around how deal teams actually work — not around a CRM template that was retrofitted for M&A.

Sourcing

Kairos monitors thousands of private market signals — ownership changes, executive hires, revenue triggers, sector news — and surfaces targets matching your acquisition thesis automatically.

“

We were running five acquisitions at once with a shared Excel file and a Slack channel. Timing a competitive process while three other firms have the same targets is unforgiving. You have to know exactly where every conversation stands at every moment — and we simply couldn't with what we had.

Built different

Why Kairos is built for this specific problem.

Most M&A software was built for deal tracking. Kairos was built for deal intelligence — the difference between a CRM and a platform that tells you what to do next.

AI-native, not AI-bolted-on

Intelligence is built into every workflow — sourcing, pipeline, diligence, integration. Not a chatbot sidebar you open once and forget.

Kairos models are trained on M&A-specific patterns — deal structures, financial red flags, competitive timing signals — not general text. The output is precise, not plausible-sounding.

Priced for mid-market reality

You are not a bulge bracket firm. We do not price like we assume you are. Transparent, predictable pricing — no enterprise sales calls to get a number.

Teams of 3–25 deal professionals. $500M–$5B revenue businesses. Boutique advisory firms running 10–40 transactions per year. That is our market, and we build for it.

No implementation tax

Kairos deploys in days, not quarters. No consultant. No custom configuration engagement. No data migration project. Connect your existing sources and start.

Native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, SharePoint, Outlook, and Google Workspace. Your data stays where it is — Kairos brings the intelligence layer on top.

Security built for deal confidentiality

M&A data is the most sensitive data in any organization. Kairos is built from the ground up for strict data isolation, audit trails, and compliance requirements.
