Buy-side M&A firm

Leveraging proprietary data and AI to deliver opportunities that match your investment thesis

SourceCo helps you uncover pre-vetted targets without relying on company databases or brokered deals.

Sourcing opportunities for investment professionals of all sizes

Are you looking to accelerate your deal Sourcing?

If you currently source deals via:

Buy Side Banks

Buy-side banks that rely on third-party databases often miss a large portion of available targets due to incomplete data. Coupled with outdated outreach methods, this significantly limits deal flow.

relationships with brokers and bankers icon - M&A buy side bank

Relationships/bankers

With brokers, you often end up overpaying as competition centers on price, rather than the value you bring to the company and management team.

In-house

Stricter email and mobile policies have driven response rates to historic lows, making off-market deal sourcing increasingly challenging and time-intensive.
