MIAMI, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PE-Nexus, LLC, a pioneer in professional networking and online deal flow exchange for mergers & acquisitions professionals, announced a major milestone achievement was reached earlier this week. The 1,000th company to join the PE-Nexus community was Meadowbrook Capital, a boutique investment banking firm headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi.

Called the "Facebook for M&A" by the Mergers & Acquisitions Journal, PE-Nexus.com (http://www.pe-nexus.com) is the fastest-growing professional networking community catering exclusively to mergers & acquisitions professionals. Its vision is to unite the fragmented middle-market M&A industry with one real-time, Web 2.0 solution. In so doing, PE-Nexus delivers exceptional cost and time savings via an expanding suite of intuitive deal origination and communication tools which alleviate the need for inefficient dial-out campaigns, mass email blasts, and excessive business trips.

PE-Nexus also unveiled two back-to-back new versions of its platform. Version 1.4 ushered in an overhauled "Home" screen, including a streamlined interface for networking activity and new communication tools. Version 1.3 introduced a more dynamic search engine to browse, sort, and track thousands of actionable deal opportunities, company profiles, and member profiles. The latest upgrades advance PE-Nexus' goal of becoming the most comprehensive and intuitive networking and deal origination platform for the middle-market M&A industry.

Co-founder Anthony Hill said, "Since we launched in July of 2010, we've seen remarkable adoption, and we've quietly established ourselves as a leader in online real-time deal flow exchange. Reaching this milestone so quickly reaffirms how easy our platform and deal flow tools are to use, and is also a clear confirmation of the growing demand for more efficient ways to market and source deal flow. We look forward to continuing this growth with the release of versions 1.3 and 1.4, and subsequent planned releases in March and April."

PE-Nexus currently caters exclusively to qualified private equity groups, corporate M&A departments, elite family offices, investment banks, M&A advisory firms, and merchant banks. PE-Nexus offers a free basic account to all qualified applicants. Members who desire enhanced membership features may upgrade to a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual premium account.
