Valtari Ltd.

Valtari Ltd. is a privately held M&A research and deal-origination firm founded in 2016, with its headquarters in London and an additional office in New York. It is not primarily a cloud data-management software company; its core business is supporting middle-market M&A and private-equity professionals.

The firm combines dedicated analyst support with technology-enabled research. Its work covers acquisition-target identification, sell-side and buy-side research, industry analysis, valuation work, pitchbooks, confidential information memoranda, financial modeling and deal-marketing support for M&A advisers, investment banks, private-equity firms and corporate buyers.

For students, Valtari’s opportunities are closer to transaction research and execution support than to general software engineering. Its six-month, full-time M&A Analyst Traineeship includes company analysis, quarterly M&A activity reporting, financial-statement and valuation analysis, and industry research; the firm states that successful trainees may be considered for a junior analyst role.
