Udu

udu is an AI-powered deal sourcing platform ideal for search fund entrepreneurs seeking to automate and scale their acquisition search. Its key strengths include real-time web-based searches—ensuring the freshest data—customizable workflows, and the ability to build proprietary, private databases of targets. The platform’s machine learning rapidly identifies under-the-radar businesses that traditional databases might miss, saving significant time and expanding deal flow. On the downside, udu is a subscription-based solution, which may be less accessible for smaller budgets, and its automation focus may not suit those preferring highly manual or relationship-driven sourcing approaches.
