SilverTree Equity improved deep sector research with Inex One

SilverTree Equity, a London-based, software-focused private equity firm, was dissatisfied with the limited custom-recruitment done by traditional expert networks. Their sector-specialist investment strategy demanded deep, nuanced insights, but the "laundry lists" of generic experts from existing providers at times failed to give them the conviction needed to make an investment. Inex One was a new model. While initially hesitant, the SilverTree Equity team decided to give it a try. The result? Inex One is now their go-to platform for critical due diligence.

“We get custom-recruited experts fast on Inex One. As a sector-specialist, our investment theses build on deep market insights. The laundry lists of traditional expert networks didn’t make the cut”, says Wiebe Willemsen, investor at SilverTree Equity.

"Inex One makes our diligences simpler”, says Vincent Giraud of SilverTree Equity. “We keep all expert research in one platform, accumulating a proprietary transcript library of all our work. One team member leads expert research, while colleagues keep up-to-date through the platform’s call transcripts.”

Expert interviews are one of the top sources of insights when researching private companies. By inviting both colleagues and external strategy consultants to collaborate on Inex One, the SilverTree team keeps a real-time overview of their research progress. Plus, they retain all primary research work done by advisors, which they can revisit for post-acquisition work and future investment processes.
