AI is re-wiring M&A. Navigate it with clarity and confidence.
The M&A Innovation Council is a closed community for corporate M&A and corporate development teams. We lead the thinking on how AI is reshaping deal execution, the shape of teams, the role of advisors, and the opportunities ahead. Membership is the working route to understand, apply, and pressure-test AI inside live deal work.
The Case for MAIC — four proposition pillars
01 — THE BENCHMARK
Setting the standard.
There is no industry-wide benchmark for how AI should be deployed across the deal lifecycle. The Council is building it — through member work, structured peer contributions, and intelligence on what genuinely moves deals forward.
02 — THE FILTER
Cutting through noise.
Vendor claims, conference headlines, contradictory advice. The Council curates what is actually working in M&A — peer-validated, deal-grade, and put directly into members’ hands.
03 — THE ROOM
Off record. By design.
Peer exchange already happens — informally, inconsistently, and without protection. The Council convenes that exchange properly. Selected peers. Protected conversation. Structured outcomes.
04 — THE LIFT
The heavy work, done.
M&A and corp dev teams cannot research, curate, and build this alone. The Council carries the load — the shortlist, the playbook, the comparable practice — alongside the teams it serves.
