TagniFi, the financial data platform focused on serving the middle market, has announced the launch of PowerComps, a groundbreaking database designed to transform how professionals analyze middle market M&A transactions. With a focus on precision, transparency, and scale, PowerComps provides unmatched access to private company comparables, empowering private equity professionals, investment bankers, valuation experts, and corporate development teams to make better-informed decisions.

For years, the middle market has lacked visibility into private company M&A activity. Most deals are not disclosed publicly, and when they are, key valuation details are often absent. This lack of transparency has made it difficult for dealmakers to benchmark valuations, develop fairness opinions, and negotiate effectively. PowerComps addresses this challenge by aggregating verified and anonymized transaction data directly from a growing network of buy-side and sell-side firms. The result is a trusted, comprehensive dataset that enables professionals to operate with greater clarity and confidence in today’s competitive deal environment.

At launch, PowerComps features more than 1,200 verified transactions contributed by 87 leading firms. Every deal undergoes a rigorous intake process to ensure accuracy and consistency. Contributors submit transactions through a secure and user-friendly platform, where data is anonymized, reviewed, and benchmarked before being added to the database. This strict verification process has established PowerComps as one of the most reliable and trusted sources for middle market valuation data.

One of the platform’s unique advantages is its inclusion of deals from both financial and strategic buyers, giving users a complete perspective of the middle market landscape. Whether evaluating sponsor-backed acquisitions or strategic takeovers, professionals have access to the relevant comparables they need to support their analysis.

The database offers comprehensive metrics across more than 400 industries. Users gain visibility into valuation multiples such as TEV/EBITDA and TEV/Revenue, as well as insights into EBITDA margins, revenue growth, and debt-to-equity structures. Additional details include junior, senior, and unitranche interest rates, along with earnout, escrow, and indemnification terms. To ensure confidentiality, data is displayed only when at least three transactions are available in a given industry.

With PowerComps, professionals can benchmark valuations across industries, buyer types, and deal structures while keeping track of current trends in middle market deal terms. The database also provides reliable support for valuations, fairness opinions, and financial modeling. By contributing anonymized transactions, firms not only grow the dataset but also gain access to valuable insights that benefit the entire community.

PowerComps bridges a huge gap by providing transparency to middle market values without compromising secrecy, said Chad Sandstedt, CEO of TagniFi, underscoring the significance of this breakthrough. And by including both strategic and financial buyer data, we’re giving dealmakers the full picture—not just one side of it.”

Investment bankers and private equity professionals are encouraged to explore the platform and may qualify for complimentary access in exchange for contributing anonymized deal data. PowerComps is built by the community, for the community, and rewards those who help expand its value.

TagniFi continues to modernize financial data delivery with its suite of tools and analytics designed to provide transparent, timely, and auditable insights. With PowerComps, the company reinforces its mission to help finance professionals analyze trends, value companies more effectively, and close deals with confidence.
