With Intelligence Acquires The Deal From Epiris

Private equity-backed With Intelligence Ltd. has agreed to acquire The Deal LLC from Epiris LLP, with the acquisition expected to be finalized by the end of February. With Intelligence, a prominent provider of asset management data and intelligence, is supported by Motive Capital Management LLC, which acquired a majority stake in the firm in 2023. This acquisition represents another step in With Intelligence’s strategic expansion into the U.S. mid-market M&A scene. The Deal, originally founded by Bruce Wasserstein in 1999, was part of London- and New York-based Delinian, previously known as Euromoney Institutional Investor, and will become a crucial component of With Intelligence’s comprehensive offerings. Delinian has been actively divesting several of its assets, aligning with its strategic focus shift. The specific financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
