The challenge

A private equity firm investigating a potential investment opportunity partnered with Techspert to strengthen their due diligence process.  

They needed to engage with US and EU5-based (Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and the UK) experts who could deepen their understanding of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology to help inform their decision to make an investment or not.  

The specialists needed to be experienced in: 

  • Developing MIP technology from an academic perspective 
  • Developing products that use MIP technology from a commercial perspective – ideally within life sciences, such as bio-processing, diagnostics, and therapeutics 
  • Assisting third-party organizations (for example, biotech) in implementing MIP technologies within their products or using them in an R&D context 

Some vendors may struggle with this kind of specificity, but our AI search technology relishes the challenge!

The solution

Unlike other vendors who rely on static panels and closed-loop networks, our AI search technology rapidly finds experts based on specific project requirements with pinpoint precision. 

It sifts through and analyzes billions of online data points worldwide, in real time, to produce accurate, comprehensive expert profiles at a much higher volume, speed, and accuracy than traditional human search methods. 

This ensures that we identify experts that other vendors can’t and that we connect our customers with the experts of today, not yesterday. 

Powered by advanced machine learning techniques, our AI identified the precise MIP experts the customer needed for their due diligence.

The outcome

Following the expert engagements, the customer got the expert-backed information they needed and made a successful investment in MIP technology. 

The specialists the customer engaged with included:
