Case Study: Catalyst Investors achieves faster investment sourcing with IBM Watson and Coalesce.Info
A IBM Case Study
Identifying investment opportunities more quickly using Coalesce.Info and IBM Watson offerings
Catalyst Investors, a New York–based private equity and growth equity firm, struggled to keep a healthy pipeline of prospects because analysts had to manually comb multiple content sources for early signals of investment opportunities. To solve this, Catalyst engaged IBM Business Partner Coalesce.Info to deploy the Coalesce.Info SaaS research tool powered by IBM Watson offerings (Watson Analytics/Discovery News, Natural Language Understanding and Classifier).
Coalesce.Info’s IBM Watson–based solution systematically analyzes large volumes of news (50,000+ stories and 14,000+ articles monthly), learns from researchers, and monitors companies for early indicators, automatically updating Catalyst’s pipeline. The platform filters out 99% of irrelevant content to surface the top 1% most valuable items, delivers actionable intelligence on roughly 20% of tracked prospects, and has materially sped Catalyst’s investment sourcing using IBM Watson technologies.
