PE-Nexus Deal Flow Exchange and M&A Social Network Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of Launch with New Buyer Matching Interface and 'Professional Account'

Leading private market network for mergers & acquisitions professionals announces one-year anniversary of launch and the release of version 1.7 of PE-Nexus

MIAMI, July 12, 2011 — PE-Nexus, the leading deal flow exchange and social network serving middle-market M&A professionals, celebrated its one-year anniversary this week with the release of version 1.7 of its platform. Among other improvements, version 1.7 debuts an upgraded buyer matching interface and a new "Professional Account" option. Both features are tailored for PE-Nexus' investment banking clientele.

"These are critical milestones toward our mission to have the most comprehensive and intuitive deal flow exchange for the middle-market," said CEO and Co-founder Anthony Hill. Moreover, said Hill, "with the increasing competitiveness and volume of M&A activity, there is a growing demand for technology that provides visibility into the market and lowers transaction costs."

Version 1.7 of PE-Nexus showcases an improved suitor matching interface which dramatically improves the quality and transparency of buyer matches generated. "Our new buyer-matching engine is a game changer for bankers," said Hill. "Not only are we cross-referencing deal flow against more parameters than ever, but bankers can now see exactly 'how' their deals match up against buyers' preferences. More knowledge should translate into more and better deals – and significantly save on bankers' buyer research efforts."

Version 1.7 also introduces an entirely new platform account type. With this new "Professional Account," PE-Nexus' advisory clients get an enhanced membership option tailored to meet their needs and budgetary preferences.

Since its launch in July 2010, membership and activity on PE-Nexus platform has grown tremendously. In addition to over 1,500 qualified investment banks, private equity groups, and corporate M&A departments becoming registered members, PE-Nexus has facilitated the exchange of sell-side deal flow with aggregate revenues in excess of $18 billion. Called the "Facebook for M&A" by the Mergers & Acquisitions Journal, PE-Nexus continues to provide the social networking backbone to build productive relationships and unite the fragmented middle-market.
