About
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.
Tindependence opened new horizons.
As a buyside-only firm we could 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.
And we could keep on building a network of successful founders looking for the right eventual platform for their business to keep on thriving in the future - with new colleagues and new horizons.
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
True tech-enablement of target selection and engagement, using AI and NLP to parse proprietary data sets. Client-facing platform to manage projects and optimize customer experience.
02
Development at scale of a supercharged network of trusted acquirers, investors and high-calibre targets with shared interest in reaching smart, enduring, off-market combinations.
03
Growth of a diverse, multi-disciplinary team, with the insight, experience and entrepreneurialism to drive consistent win-win M&A outcomes at the innovation frontier.
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.
