Savantiq: turning raw data into intelligence advantage

Heini founded Savantiq three and a half years ago after working in investment management at BlackRock and Goldman Sachs. “I saw inefficiencies in how we handled deals,” she recalls. “The work was fragmented across spreadsheets, inboxes and generic tools. I wanted to fix that.”

Since then, the pace of finance has accelerated. Transactions that once took weeks now happen in days, and investment teams must analyse hundreds of targets quickly. Savantiq was built to meet that challenge. Its platform brings together data from emails, internal systems and public filings, turning them into clear, presentation-ready insights.

Artificial intelligence supports this process by spotting patterns and speeding up analysis, while human oversight ensures reliability. For corporates, this means smoother M&A workflows. For funds, it means being able to screen, compare and assess targets efficiently.

Savantiq was born at the intersection of finance and technology, with a product tailored to private finance, where context and precision are key. “We know how funds look at deals and how processes work,” Heini explains. “That allows us to position ourselves in the middle, helping them handle data in a way that supports real decision-making.”

Initially focused on large corporates, Savantiq has since expanded to serve investment funds across Europe. Clients use the platform to manage their own datasets, connect external sources and gather public information in one place.

“The speed of execution in the market has increased,” Heini notes. “Funds need to be aware of opportunities earlier and have tools that help them keep pace.” As deal activity accelerates, Savantiq’s approach to data-driven decision-making is becoming increasingly valuable.

Now serving a growing base of corporate and fund clients, Savantiq is consolidating its position in Europe, expanding and preparing to enter the United States, backed recently by an investment from the EIF through the venture capital firm Crowberry Capital. “We are in a big product development phase,” Heini says. “We have just launched our VC offering and are refining it with new users.”

“The name ‘Savantiq’ comes from ‘savant’ and ‘IQ,’ a reminder that intelligence is about learning fast,” she adds. “That is what we help our clients do every day.”
