The deal sourcing bottleneck
Whether you're running a buy-and-build, a standalone acquisition, or entering a new market — finding enough on-thesis owners who actually want to sell is always the bottleneck.
Months of dead ends
Traditional sourcing means chasing companies that aren't selling — and when you do find one, reaching the actual owner means navigating gatekeepers and dead phone lines.
Off-criteria deal flow
Brokers send you whatever they have, not what fits your thesis. You spend hours filtering noise to find the one diamond in the rough.
Pipeline never fills fast enough
Your criteria are specific. Traditional sourcing is too slow and too expensive to fill your pipeline with enough high-quality, actionable opportunities.
How Acquilerate Works
You stay in control at every step. Nothing goes out without your approval — from criteria to call scripts to final meetings.
Thesis → Criteria
You share your acquisition thesis. We translate it into hard requirements and preferred criteria — validated by you before any research begins.
Adaptive Discovery
We map the market using the best method for your industry — registry-first, brand-first, or channel-first. Thousands of companies scanned and ranked by fit.
Verify & Score
Every target is qualified with evidence: financials from official filings, ownership verification, and a composite fit score against your criteria.
Outreach on Your Terms
You approve targets and scripts first. Pipeline full? We pause. Running low? We reactivate. Meetings booked straight into your calendar.
Live Dashboard
Full pipeline visibility — targets, scores, call transcripts, and meeting outcomes. IC-ready exports at any point. No black box, just results.
Fraction of the cost. All of the results.
No large retainers. No fixed headcount. A small upfront fee to get started, then a success fee when you actually close a deal. Details discussed during our first call.
