The 20 MSP Announces Triple Play in Strategic Acquisitions

Published

on

The 20 MSP closes three new MSP acquisitions, deepens national footprint.

PLANO, Texas, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading managed IT services provider, The 20 MSP, today announced its completion of three MSP acquisitions, the latest round of deals in an ongoing M&A growth plan aimed at consolidating the company’s national footprint and enhancing its service offerings.

“We’ve successfully completed 30 acquisitions, and with each one, the process becomes increasingly streamlined,” said Tim Conkle, CEO and Founder of The 20 MSP. “A lot of the attrition and friction that comes with traditional M&A deals is either minimized or altogether eliminated by our approach.”

The three managed service providers (MSPs) joining The 20 are Drivetech (Massachusetts), Accurate Computer Solutions (Texas), and Blue Cactus Consulting (Arizona).

As with The 20 MSP’s previous twenty-seven acquisitions, these three MSPs all achieved steady year-over-year growth as members of The 20 MSP Group. The group boasts 150+ MSP members, independent MSPs who leverage shared processes and resources, as well as economies of scale, to get ahead in the competitive managed IT services space and compete at parity with much larger companies.

The addition of Drivetech, Accurate Computer Solutions, and Blue Cactus Consulting represents another decisive step forward in The 20 MSP’s ambitious growth plans, expanding its client base and deepening expertise across several key areas.

The 20 MSP’s founder and CEO, Tim Conkle, commented on the significance of these latest deals.

“With these deals closed, we now have thirty acquisitions under our belt,” Conkle said. “We’ve really hit our stride in terms of making these integrations seamless and minimally disruptive to end clients. As we get bigger and better, our collective knowledge base only gets stronger, so there’s more and more wisdom to draw on as far as making all the pieces fit,” added Conkle.

The 20 MSP’s unique M&A approach has garnered plenty of industry attention, and as Conkle shared, blazing a trail is standard procedure for him and his team.

“When I started The 20 MSP Group, I knew we were exploring new territory,” Conkle explained. “Now, we’re embracing the opportunity to once again break ground with our distinctive M&A process.”

This distinctive process is marked by a commitment to acquiring MSPs that belong to The 20 MSP Group exclusively. As Conkle explained, this strategy capitalizes on the deep relationships The 20 MSP builds with acquisition targets during their time as members. “A lot of the attrition and friction that comes with traditional M&A deals is either minimized or altogether eliminated by our approach,” Conkle said. “So while the pace of our expansion has been rapid, it hasn’t felt rushed, since these integrations solidify partnerships that have been in the works, maturing organically within The 20 MSP Group.”

The 20 MSP has a full pipeline of acquisition candidates and more deals planned for the coming months.

Pinecrest Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to The 20 MSP on the acquisitions. Texas-based Sunflower Bank, acting as sole lead arranger in a syndicated credit facility for The 20 MSP, provided the funding tranche.

Investing.com Launches WarrenAI – A Cutting-Edge AI-Driven ‘Financial Researcher’

Published

on

By

Leveraging a wealth of unprecedented real-time premium data, “WarrenAI” brings unprecedented AI capabilities to investing, combining ChatGPT-like technology with unparalleled market data and analytical prowess

NEW YORK, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Investing.com, the world’s largest financial news, tools & data platform, accessed by more than 60 million retail investors monthly, has announced the launch of “WarrenAI,” a cutting-edge AI-driven financial researcher, designed to revolutionize investor analysis and insights.

Through WarrenAI, Investing.com brings unprecedented AI capabilities to retail investors through innovative technology that combines the ease of ChatGPT with the trusted premium market data and raw analytical power. Further bridging the gap between retail investors and professional Wall Street traders, WarrenAI is a personal, devoted financial researcher, with superhuman capacity and expertise, and which can answer just about any question with faster market reactions than a fleet of Wall Street analysts. WarrenAI will also launch in over 30 languages, providing retail investors across the globe with access to the AI tool.

While existing AI software such as ChatGPT source data from the entire web, WarrenAI is significantly differentiated in having exclusive access to vetted, real-time, unparalleled data on global markets from the world’s largest resource for financial markets. The new tool provides investors with immediate access to an array of over 1200 premium fundamental metrics spanning more than 72,000 companies, ETFs, mutual funds, closed-end funds and REITs, complete with a decade’s worth of historical data. In addition to condensing months of detailed financial news into quick, essentials-only summaries, WarrenAI can deliver comprehensive SWOT analysis, provide the bearish and bullish cases for thousands of stocks, gather breaking Wall Street analyst outlooks, and run advanced stock screeners — all within seconds.

“Retail investors will discover that WarrenAI is far more than your average AI chatbot. It is a supercharged, data-driven assistant; and just like professional investors, thanks to WarrenAI, retail investors will have their own financial researcher working for them — WarrenAI will fetch important news, data and research, take care of the time-consuming heavy lifting, and help them make more informed investment decisions,” said Omer Shvili, CEO of Investing.com. “By enhancing the utility of our massive amounts of data and financial tools, with the ever-growing capabilities of generative AI, the launch of WarrenAI represents Investing.com’s boldest step yet toward arming retail investors with the resources they need to close the gap with market professionals and improve the quality of their investment decisions.”

The launch of WarrenAI comes as generative AI is increasingly used in the financial services industry, shaping how retail investors invest and interact with advisors. WarrenAI takes AI’s impact in the industry to the next level by not only supplementing, but actually replicating the experience of working with a seasoned team financial researchers — providing instant charts, tables, optimized calculations, and long-form analysis, all deriving from a rich treasure trove of data that investors can trust.

“Our fundamental mission is to bridge the gap between retail and institutional investors, releasing products and services which not only reduce that gap but that are specifically designed and catered to the retail investor market,” said James Lu, Founding Partner at Joffre Capital and Chairman of Investing.com. “While some financial services institutions are restricting the use of AI, at Investing.com we understand that we simply cannot run away from the future. Through WarrenAI, we are delivering the latest game-changing resources and technology directly to investors’ fingertips.”

A beta launch of WarrenAI saw Investing.com users utilizing the AI tool around an array of wide-ranging requests on equities, macroeconomic events, trading techniques, and portfolio strategies. A large volume of inquiries centered on individual stock analysis, with users asking for earnings forecasts, fair value estimates, and SWOT-type evaluations. Other questions focused on macro events and their influence on markets, commodities and currencies, in addition to cryptocurrency outlooks. Portfolio-building and stock-screening queries also remained popular, with users looking to identify undervalued equities and high-yield dividend stocks. Results from the beta launch indicate both fundamental and active-trading mindsets, with users seeking in-depth fundamental insights as well as agile, trading-oriented tactics.

WarrenAI builds on the momentum generated by Investing.com’s premium subscription service, InvestingPro, which offers retail investors enhanced financial tools and real-time exclusive breaking news at an affordable price, once again providing them with value-added solutions to more effectively compete with institutional investors. Last year, as part of these premium features, Investing.com launched ProPicks AI, an AI-powered stock picker that equips retail investors with exciting trading ideas each month, and which have proven to consistently outperform the market’s benchmark indices.
