Introducing Target List Enrichment

James O'Dwyer

In private equity and deal-making, speed and precision are everything. Identifying the right investment opportunities requires more than just data—it demands intelligence. That’s why we built Target Lists, a game-changing feature in Metal that automatically enriches target companies on behalf of deal teams, accelerating their workflow and enabling faster, smarter decision-making.
With Target Lists, investors can instantly aggregate, analyze, and prioritize their deal flow using AI-powered enrichment. No more sifting through static lists or outdated spreadsheets—this feature keeps your deal pipeline dynamic, data-rich, and decision-ready.
Automate Enrichment from Every Source
Instead of manually researching companies, Metal automatically pulls relevant insights from multiple sources, including:
- CRM Integrations: Seamlessly connect with DealCloud, Salesforce, or other deal-tracking systems to enrich company records with real-time data.
- Market Reports: Extract financials, competitive landscape, and key metrics from uploaded investment documents.
- Web & News Data: Scrape company websites, press releases, and media coverage to understand recent developments.
- Third-Party Databases: Leverage integrations with PitchBook, Crunchbase, CapIQ, LinkedIn, and other intelligence sources.
- Uploaded CIMs & Data Rooms: Automatically analyze financial statements, presentations, and diligence materials to surface key insights.
This comprehensive data enrichment ensures deal teams work with complete, real-time intelligence, rather than fragmented, outdated information.

Sort, Filter & Prioritize the Best Opportunities
Once your Target List is enriched, powerful filtering and ranking capabilities help you pinpoint the most attractive opportunities.
- Filter by sector, geography, financials, and team strength to focus on deals that align with your firm’s thesis.
- Sort by revenue growth, funding stage, market traction, or sentiment analysis to identify the most promising companies at a glance.
- Automatically flag high-priority deals based on AI-driven scoring across multiple criteria.
By structuring, scoring, and prioritizing your targets, Metal turns raw lists into actionable investment opportunities.
