Founded in 1998 as EKNOW LLC, the company became EKNOW, Inc., a Delaware C corporation, the following year.
EKNOW is headquartered in the United States, Washington, DC metropolitan area, in Arlington, VA.
EKNOW's sole business is the development, operation, sales, and support of its M&A Tools SaaS platform.
EKNOW clients and users come from Europe, North America, Latin America, Middle East, South Asia, China, Japan, and Australia.
At 25 years as of September 2023, EKNOW is proud to have, by far, the longest track record of continuous M&A platform innovation.
With each annual release, EKNOW greatly expands M&A Tools' scope, performance, usability, and value.
EKNOW sales are primarily direct to acquirer clients. EKNOW also supports M&A advisory, sell-side advisory, and management consultant practices in M&A and transformation.
EKNOW is privileged to be the first choice in the premium M&A market.
For EKNOW, the premium market means:
• Large- to mid-cap acquirers
• Highly distributed or complex organizations
• Extremely demanding internal constituents
• Prioritize high service, expertise, and/or customization
• Require a "pro tool"
Today, EKNOW also offers solutions for SMB and mid-market acquirers.
SMB clients benefit from EKNOW technology trickle-down, superior functionality, tool modularity, sophisticated presentation, and EKNOW expertise.
EKNOW's focus does not currently support very small teams, or individual practitioners. However, the business cases for these and other markets are reevaluated periodically.
EKNOW is private and independent. EKNOW was never venture funded or PE-backed.
EKNOW self-funded through revenue, founder contribution, and early non-institutional ("friends and family") private investors.
EKNOW has remained under continuous ownership and management throughout its history.
Perhaps unique in the segment, EKNOW has continuously developed its M&A Tools for over 25 years, and owns all of its IP.
In fact, EKNOW development has continued without pause, without outsourcing, and without change of ownership, core management, or other business interruption of any kind for a quarter century.
This stability has proven to be an immense productivity advantage in EKNOW technology development.
