The Deal Sourcing Bottleneck
No matter your strategy, finding enough owners who fit your criteria and want to sell is always the hardest part.
Months of dead ends
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
Off-criteria deal flow
Brokers send you whatever they have, not what fits your thesis. You have to spend hours filtering through the noise to get a decent list of targets.
Pipeline never fills fast enough
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.
1. Thesis & criteria
You share your acquisition thesis. We translate it into hard requirements and preferred criteria, validated by you before any research begins.
2. Adaptive discovery
We map the market using the best method for your industry: registry-first, brand-first, or channel-first. Thousands of companies are then scanned and ranked by fit.
3. Verify & score
Every target is then qualified with evidence: financials from official filings, ownership verification, and a fit score against your criteria.
4. Outreach on your terms
You approve targets and scripts first. Pipeline full? We pause. Running low? We reactivate. Meetings are then booked straight into your calendar.
5. Live dashboard
Full pipeline visibility: targets, scores, call transcripts, and meeting outcomes. Investment committee-ready exports at any point for full transparency.
