Science for the Art of M&A

Neil Kleinberg, DiliVer LLC

As a four-time entrepreneur, Neil Kleinberg is on the front line of what he describes as the secretive and artsy world of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Yet his repeat success throughout his twenty-five-year career has also exposed him to the inherent pains of the full M&A transaction life cycle—the inspiration behind his latest award-winning venture, DiliVer.

The financial technology (FinTech) M&A due diligence software company inaugurated a new enterprise-wide, metrics-based scorecard solution that’s earning accolades, including the prestigious TOP 10 FINTECH SOLUTION PROVIDERS–2018 award from CFO Tech Outlook in May. The annual award is given to companies that have “opened the doorways towards new opportunities to literally rewrite tomorrow and can drive the industry forward in entirely new ways.”

“We’re making a mark on the M&A community,” says Kleinberg, DiliVer’s founder and CEO, since the company’s launch in 2014. “Any time you try to disrupt an established environment, validation from reputable, independent sources tells us that we’re moving in the right direction, and it is always appreciated.”

Kleinberg invented the DiliVer intellectual property that helps solve “the outcome problem,” referring to the historical lack of post-M&A transaction success for combined entities being formed. “This problem may be largely attributed to the widely-accepted but highly-inefficient M&A deal paradigm, which has a deal team and transaction-focused mindset, and which uses a general purpose and process-driven software toolset to conduct the transaction,” Kleinberg says. “To solve this problem, DiliVer promotes a new paradigm that introduces a combined entity and outcome-focused mindset, and an industry-specific and data-driven software toolset.”
