Michael Trudeau, Director of Strategy at Intel, shares how his team uses Quid to move beyond traditional research and bring a data-driven lens to one of the most strategic questions in tech: who's going to acquire whom? By combining earnings calls, analyst reports, news, and proprietary financial signals, Intel developed a predictive M&A tool to spot competitive threats and investment opportunities—before they happen.
Predicting M&A with Confidence: Intel used Quid to build a model that accurately predicted 13 of 15 major past tech acquisitions—often before any public speculation surfaced.
A Scalable, Industry-Agnostic Framework: The methodology blends co-mentions, strategy alignment, and financial similarity to identify top acquisition targets across any sector—not just semiconductors.
Turning Insights into Action: Intel’s business units now use the playbooks not just to monitor competitors—but to prioritize their own BD efforts, surfacing under-the-radar companies for partnerships or investment.
From Network Maps to Decision Tools: While Quid powers the back-end analysis, Intel simplifies outputs into ranked lists and impact scores—translating complex NLP into strategic clarity for non-technical stakeholders.
40% ROI on Predicted Companies: Intel’s “acquisition likelihood” portfolio has outperformed the S&P 500—underscoring how this isn’t just strategic intel, but potentially investable intel.
