Valence: The M&A Due Diligence War Room

Every acquisition lives or dies on the fine print. Today, due diligence means lawyers and accountants manually combing through thousands of pages for weeks, each working in their own silo. One missed clause — an uncapped liability, an ambiguous IP ownership term — can cost millions or kill a deal entirely after the ink dries. Valence solves this with a synthetic deal team: five specialized AI agents that collaborate live through a Band chatroom, exactly like a real diligence team would. The Triager classifies incoming documents. Financial Forensics verifies the numbers and flags anomalies. The Legal & Valuation agent hunts for contract landmines, quantifies their dollar exposure, and reprices the deal in real time — even pausing to question Financial directly when something doesn't add up. Risk Synthesis scores the deal across financial and legal dimensions, and the Executive Arbitrator delivers a three-sentence, CEO-ready verdict: GO, conditional, or no-go. Every handoff happens visibly in Band — no black box, no single end-of-pipeline summary. Each agent runs as its own independent n8n workflow, triggered only when mentioned, with swappable LLM backends across Featherless AI and AI/ML API. Built for private equity associates, corporate development teams, and boutique M&A advisors, Valence collapses weeks of manual review into minutes — without sacrificing the auditability a real deal team requires. And because the underlying pattern is domain-agnostic, the same auditable multi-agent reasoning extends naturally to lending, insurance, and regulatory compliance.
