What is Deal Sourcing?

Definition

Deal sourcing is the process by which investors identify and discover potential investment opportunities. It includes both inbound (companies approaching investors) and outbound (investors actively searching for companies) methods.

Why deal sourcing matters for investors

The quality of your deal sourcing directly determines the quality of your portfolio. Investors who see more deals, earlier, have a structural advantage in picking winners.
