In 2020, Benjamin Forlani recognized a critical gap in the technology investment landscape: investors and corporates were making multi-million dollar decisions with fragmented, surface-level information. Traditional market research failed to capture the nuanced insights needed for strategic technology investments. So he founded Dedale Intelligence (originally Software Club) with a singular vision - to become the differentiating source of strategic intelligence in the technology space. What began as a focused research operation has evolved into a global powerhouse with over 100 full-time analysts leveraging a network of 10,000+ industry veterans across Paris, New York, London, Munich, Cebu, Cairo, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Today, Dedale stands at the intersection of AI-powered analytics and human expertise, delivering bespoke intelligence that transforms how investors and corporates approach technology investments. The company's rapid growth from a Paris-based startup to a transatlantic intelligence powerhouse proves their model works - clients return because Dedale provides the foundational and exclusive insights they simply cannot find elsewhere. By combining deep software industry knowledge with rigorous due diligence, Dedale has become an indispensable partner for private equity firms, growth equity funds, and corporate development teams navigating the complex B2B software landscape.
