Hey Product Hunt — I'm Ricardo, founder of FAIR.
Over a 20+ year career in M&A and capital advisory, the same problem kept showing up: tech founders find out who wants to buy them the day someone calls, not before. By then there's no leverage, no comparison, and no time to prepare.
FAIR is a radar, not a listing service. Tell it your sector, stage and the acquirers you'd want to talk to, and it continuously scans public filings, M&A news, deal activity and hiring signals to rank the buyers most likely to come knocking — updated weekly, with the reasoning behind every score.
We're onboarding right now (free tier available). If you're a tech founder who'd rather be ready than surprised, I'd love your feedback.

honestly the weekly digest sounds great but it would be super useful to get alerts in real time when a serious buyer enters your space, not just the monday summary. could you add push notifications for high intent signals so you dont miss the window

@meryematesm8ti Thanks, Meryem. You're pointing at the same gap Necati raised: timing-sensitive signals versus the weekly cadence. It's a genuine next-phase conversation, not dismissed. High-intent-signal alerts is exactly the right framing for it.

A weekly digest is solid, but for timing-sensitive deals I'd love a real-time alert when a likely buyer in my space shows fresh activity (new funding, leadership change, recent acquisition). Waiting seven days can mean missing the window when a strategic acquirer is most open.

@necatii73277 Fair point, Necati. The weekly cadence is deliberate for now, since data moves on a daily and weekly research cycle rather than live feeds. But the scenario you're describing, a strategic acquirer's window closing before the next digest, is a real gap. Appreciate you spelling it out.

Honestly didn't expect the weekly digest to be so on point, it basically flagged a buyer in our space we hadn't even considered yet. Timing the recommendations around market shifts is genuinely useful, not just noise.

@sedahykex4z That's exactly the moment we're building for, Seda. Thanks for sharing it. Surfacing a buyer you hadn't considered is the whole point of the radar.

the weekly digest format is a really smart call, keeps the signal-to-noise ratio way better than a real-time feed would. nice execution on making something dense actually feel calm to read.

@murat5gkt Thanks, Murat. That was the goal exactly. M&A signals are noisy by nature, so the weekly cadence is a deliberate choice to keep it something you'd actually want to read, not another feed to triage.

One thing that would make this even more useful is the ability to set custom alerts for specific buyers or deal sizes, so I don't have to wait for the weekly digest when something urgent pops up in my sector.

@muhammedkpvsfd Good suggestion, Muhammed. You can already add specific buyers to a watchlist to keep an eye on them, but alerts by buyer or deal size aren't built yet. That's a reasonable direction to weigh for what's next. Appreciate you naming it.

The weekly digest is genuinely useful and doesn't feel like noise, and seeing potential buyers before they publicly shop around is a real edge. Wish the onboarding had shown me how to narrow my industry filter faster.

@cihanomakgzs0 Thanks, Cihan. Glad the digest is landing well. Good catch on onboarding: sector, stage and region already narrow the radar, but making that quicker to dial in is fair feedback. Noting it for the next pass.
Report
The weekly digests are surprisingly focused, surfacing just two or three real opportunities instead of drowning me in noise. Timing signals on potential buyers before they go public gave me a real edge in negotiations.

A weekly digest is a solid cadence, but adding a real-time Slack or Teams alert when a company in your tracked industry files for an acquisition or gets new funding would be huge. Catching the signal days before the newsletter drops could make the difference in outreach timing.
