Solutions · Acquisition Screening

Underwrite datacenter deals with operator-level data.

REITs, private equity, and corporate dev teams use Kova Stack to screen acquisition targets — single facilities, multi-site portfolios, and full operators — with the asset-level intelligence VDRs rarely include.

Due-Diligence Coverage

Six layers of acquisition intelligence

Kova's data complements (and stress-tests) the seller's VDR — closing the gap between marketing decks and operational reality.

Asset-level facility data

Every facility in the target portfolio: square footage, MW capacity, tier rating, redundancy configuration, age, and last major capex date.

Equipment-stack inventory

UPS systems, battery strings, cooling infrastructure, and generators — including manufacturer, model, install year, and forecasted EOL.

Lease vs. owned & customer concentration

Ownership status of each site, key customer relationships where public, and tenant-mix risk that affects valuation.

Recent M&A and operator history

Prior transactions involving the target, related operator consolidations, and the competitive moves around the portfolio.

Live signals at portfolio facilities

Active permit filings, expansion announcements, and capex signals at each site — so you know whether you're buying a stable cash flow or an active build.

Investment-committee briefing

All of the above delivered as a clean PDF + dashboard your IC can defend the decision with.
