Is Sourcing Capacity Limiting Your Fund's Deal Flow?

Finding Targets Before the Process Starts

By the time a deal hits a banker's CIM or an online marketplace, multiple funds are already engaged. The most competitive opportunities are often sourced before a formal process begins.

Paying for the Same Database as Your Competition

PitchBook, CapIQ, Inven, Grata, Datasite, or Axial: every fund in your market runs the same screen, builds the same target list, and sends the same outreach. There's no edge in a commodity.

One Thesis at a Time

Your team can only chase one deal strategy per mandate. Run the add-on acquisition angle and you miss the platform angle. More optionality requires more people, or a different platform.

The Relationship You Don't Have

You have deep relationships in healthcare or industrials. But the best target for your next fund is in a sector where you have zero existing network. That deal goes to someone else.

ORIGINATE

Parallel Sourcing for Your Thesis

Run founder-owned and sponsor-backed pipelines in parallel for platforms, or target multiple sub-sectors simultaneously for add-ons. Parallel sourcing paths multiply deal optionality and transaction speed, maximizing your deal-team leverage.

Are You Currently Paying for the Same Sourcing Data?

Most Private Equity teams subscribe to the same static databases as their competitors, resulting in high annual fees for the same deal screens and target lists.

  • PitchBook, CapIQ, Inven, Grata, or Datasite: Premium annual subscriptions per seat
  • Axial or other deal platforms: Additional subscription seat costs
  • ACG or DealMAX networking: Event registration and travel costs per attendee
  • Analyst sourcing hours: 60+ hours per deal thesis, followed by manual contact verification

"Stop pivoting sequentially. Financesaur targets every angle at once, surfacing the right counterparty on a fraction of the traditional timeline."
