About

A data company, not a two-week-old deal shop

Acquisition Universe is a product line of Alpha Quantum — a Munich-based data engineering company that has classified the web for enterprise clients for years. The acquisition product reuses infrastructure that already serves telecoms, adtech platforms, and API customers daily.

Where the data comes from

The foundation is a continuously maintained classification of 100M+ domains — one of the largest independent website categorization databases in existence, covering 99.99%+ of active internet usage across 700+ categories and multiple taxonomies. It powers web filtering, brand safety, and audience products for enterprise customers, including one of the largest European telecom operators. The acquisition intelligence product points that same engine at a different question: not “what category is this site?” but “does this company match this buyer's thesis — and what's the evidence?”

LLM-based extraction runs on infrastructure we operate ourselves, tuned over years of production classification work. That matters for a practical reason: screening tens of thousands of candidate websites per thesis is only economical if the pipeline is genuinely industrial. Ours is — the same architecture has processed hundreds of millions of pages.

Own infrastructure

Classification, crawling, and extraction run on our own pipeline — no reselling of third-party company data.

EU-based, GDPR-native

German company, EU data handling, and a method built on company-published information rather than personal data.

Published standards

Our exclusions and forbidden claims are public. Read them — they are the short version of how we think.
