Preface

Singapore's M&A activity is growing, but global volatility, tighter regulations (such as GDPR), and political uncertainty have made investors more cautious. As a result, financial due diligence is now central to building trust and guiding investment decisions.

In SME and startup deals, buy-side work is often handled by brokers with strong deal experience but limited formal training in valuation and due diligence. At the same time, many firms still rely on outdated systems and fragmented data sources (for example spreadsheets, QuickBooks files, and ad-hoc reports), with limited access to enterprise tools like ERP platforms. This creates heavy manual work in cleaning and reconciling data, slowing deals, increasing errors, and reducing decision quality.

PactPro addresses this gap with one core question: How can buy-side analysts standardise and automate due diligence despite messy data and limited expertise?

Its goals are to:

  • reduce manual data preparation,
  • standardise analysis through templates, anomaly detection, and rule-based checks, and
  • enable both specialists and non-specialists to perform consistent, defensible due diligence.

Team PactPro

PactPro is an Entrepreneurship Capstone platform built for buy-side analysts and brokers in PE/VC deals, with a focus on ASEAN SMEs. It streamlines valuation and financial due diligence in a single web application, replacing manual review of lengthy reports, PDFs, and spreadsheets.

The platform uses a hybrid extraction pipeline combining custom NLP algorithms with self-hosted LLMs. A knowledge graph then structures financial and qualitative data into a queryable format, enabling reusable valuation templates, anomaly detection, and rule-based validation beyond traditional spreadsheet workflows.

By reducing repetitive data cleaning and interpretation, PactPro helps teams identify risks and opportunities earlier, improve valuation consistency across deals, and move faster towards stronger, more profitable investment decisions.
