Most of you know the proprietary sourcing math better than I do. Roughly a 1% reply rate on cold outreach, 40 hours a week feeding it, and the median searcher spends 18 months looking and still walks away without a close. Hire it out and you're paying $5–15k a month with no guarantee the deals coming back are any good. We run a buy-side M&A shop doing direct-to-owner outreach. It's a real operation with real volume, and it produces more qualified, owner-direct conversations than we can possibly run ourselves. So we built a channel to put that flow in front of independent searchers, holdco operators, and smaller funds. What it actually is: -3 to 5 new direct-to-owner opportunities every weekday. (pre selected from theredactedconversations we have daily with founders. (we'd say those are solid deals) -Pre-broker. No CIM, no process letter, no buyer list 80 names deep. You're usually the first or second buyer the owner has spoken to. -First member to request an intro gets it, plus an exclusive look until they pass. We make the introduction personally and stay in it through close. What I'm not going to pretend: It's not a magic button. You still qualify, build the relationship, run diligence, and close. The channel gets you to the owner early but... If you don't have capital lined up, skip it. We don't teach people how to find money. The economics are deliberately boring: $199/mo founding rate ($299 standard), 7-day free trial, card at signup, cancel anytime in the window and you owe nothing. If you actually close a deal from the channel, the buy-side fee is a flat 2% of EV, and zero if you don't close. No sell-side fee baked into asking price, because there's no sell-side broker in the middle.
