Scoring That Predicts Engagment

Not every company that fits your criteria is ready to transact. Our proprietary Dealflow Score analyses ownership age, succession signals, advisor engagement status, and transaction timing indicators to surface companies most likely to engage now—not in five years. You only see targets scoring 70+.

Proprietary Coverage

While competitors fight over 10% of deals on the market, we get you exclusive access to the other 90%. First conversations with founders who haven't hired an advisor. That's where multiples stay reasonable.

Time Back To Your Team

Your Associates spend 50+ hours per deal on manual research. Our clients cut that to 10 hours and reallocate time to relationship-building that actually closes deals. Turn one analyst into five.
