Corax Advisory: M&A / private-equity opportunity screening
My independent advisory practice — screening cross-border M&A and private-equity opportunities across U.S. and African markets, pairing MBA-grade valuation with AI-accelerated research.
The problem
Investors evaluating cross-border M&A and private-equity opportunities face fragmented data and widely varying country risk. Without a disciplined screening approach, promising sectors and geographies are hard to separate from noise, and manual research is slow.
The approach
Framed and led the research approach — assessing sector trends, regulatory conditions, and country risk to prioritize markets for deeper analysis. Valued companies in priority markets using discounted cash flow, comparable-company, and precedent-transaction analyses, stress-testing operating assumptions across multiple scenarios. Built AI research agents that gather and cross-check market data from multiple sources, generating concise briefs on major transactions and industry developments — compressing manual research cycles.
The outcome
A repeatable screening framework, valuation models, and AI-assisted research briefs that prioritize sectors and geographies for further diligence. Findings are synthesized into written recommendations that rank opportunities for investment research.
Business value
Turns scattered market data into a disciplined, defensible shortlist — combining rigorous valuation with AI-accelerated research so investors focus diligence where it matters.
