Source proprietary deals at scale.
Every deal your competitors see is a deal you're competing on price for. Proprietary deal flow wins wars. We wire your firm to reach acquisition targets, business owners, and add-on opportunities before they hit the market — and before bankers and brokers get their cut.
The sourcing problem.
Banker-driven deal flow is commoditized.
When 50 firms see the same deal at the same time, you're bidding on price, not merit. Proprietary flow is how you win — but building that infrastructure requires outreach capacity most firms don't have in-house.
Add-on identification eats junior associate time.
Your best analysts spend 80% of their time on manual TAM research and LinkedIn stalking instead of building models and analyzing targets. You're paying six-figure salaries for busywork.
Owner conversations require trust at scale.
Business owners don't take unsolicited calls from junior sourcers. Personalized outreach from a partner profile carries weight — but scaling that across 100+ targets requires discipline and systems most firms lack.
How we source proprietary deals.
TAM mapping by criteria.
We define your ideal acquisition target — by industry, revenue, geography, growth stage, and exit readiness signals. We build a proprietary list of 500+ companies that fit your thesis, not broker definitions.
Direct contact from partner profiles.
LinkedIn outreach and email sequences come from your partners' profiles — not a generic source. Business owners respond to peer-to-peer conversation. We handle the infrastructure; your partners own the relationships.
Multi-touch: LinkedIn + email + research.
A single email is noise. We run coordinated campaigns — warm-up touches on LinkedIn, email sequences with company research, relevant content shares. Touches compound; conversations happen.
Monitor deal readiness triggers.
Companies showing hiring growth, leadership changes, strategic pivots, or regulatory pressure are more open to conversation. We scan for signals and time outreach when receptivity is highest.
