About Closva

We make deals move faster.

Closva is an AI-powered dealflow platform for acquisitions, company sales and investments. We bring document preparation, data rooms and due diligence together in one place, so deal teams spend less time on manual work and more on the decisions that matter.

Our mission

Less paperwork. More deals that close.

Too many good transactions slow down in spreadsheets, email threads and scattered folders. Closva gives in-house teams, advisers and investors one workspace where AI organises the material, finds what matters and flags risks early, with people in control of every decision.

What we stand for

How we build Closva.

AI does the groundwork

Reading, sorting, checking and drafting are automated, so experienced people can focus on judgement and relationships.

You stay in control

Nothing is shared or sent without approval. Every figure links back to its source, and every action is logged.

Secure by default

Data stored securely in the EU, controlled access, separate views for every buyer and a full audit trail, built for confidential transactions.

Experience behind the platform

Technology meets transaction experience.

Our team combines product and technology expertise with extensive advisory experience in business acquisitions, sales and international transactions.
