IQ, EQ, AI and data... backed by grit and creativity
Artemis was established in 2022 as a spin-out of the buyside and market intelligence divisions of a global M&A advisory firm.
We'd spent 5 years helping acquirers deploy billions into proprietary deals in the mid- and lower mid-markets. With our insights they were able to bypass banker-led auctions and co-create future growth and value plans with counterparties outside the constraints of formal, competitive processes.
Independence opened new horizons.
As a buyside-only firm we focus on building long-term relationships with acquirers and investors, deepening our understanding of what they are looking for and how they interact in M&A. Which means we can find them the smart proprietary deals again and again.
Our network of successful founders keeps growing - founders looking for the right platform for their business to keep on thriving in the future - with new colleagues and new horizons - or exit, leaving their legacy in the best hands for future growth and fulfilment for their staff.
Win-win, proprietary deals are what motivate us. And they take all the IQ, EQ, AI and data we can muster - backed by reams of grit and creativity. All of which is, in a nutshell, what we're building at Artemis.

01
Expert-curated, tech-enabled target selection from public and proprietary data sets. Deep insights into sectors, geos and founder aspirations to enable industry-leading connectivity with off-market businesses.

Total focus on initiating, advancing and closing proprietary win-win deals. Not just mapping and networking but creating the right dialogues at the right times to ensure a path to a completed transaction.
03
Development of a diverse, multi-disciplinary team, with the knowledge, experience, humility and entrepreneurialism to drive consistent win-win M&A outcomes in many of the most complex, competitive and innovative areas of the global economy.
Built on Insight, Experience and Trust
We believe smart M&A deals are consistently generated through programmatic, insight-driven target identification and an entrepreneurial approach to assessment and pursuit of the resulting opportunities. And we have the track record to prove it.
The playing field for M&A in the Knowledge Economy is vast and competitive. Targets are opaque and elusive. Whatever your in-house origination resource we can complement it and help drive better outcomes for your M&A strategy.

The Artemis Difference
Proprietary insight. Focused origination. Smarter outcomes.
A Transparent, Programmatic Methodology
Artemis' methodology is intensive, transparent and proven. We help refine initial specifications with our sector knowledge and proprietary data sets then move into a weekly cadence of interactive sessions to prioritize targets and agree actions.
Engagement Built on Credibility and Market Insight
Our 70% target engagement rates are well above average. After all, why wouldn't owners respond to experts in their sector approaching a handful of firms with the greatest mutual opportunities after weeks or months of iterative search and assessment?
Pureplay Buyside, Across the Full M&A Cycle
We work throughout the investment cycle: anywhere or everywhere from thesis to close. We are 100% buyside with deep sector insight and origination expertise. We build successful long-term relationships with smart buyers and investors.
