Deal Sourcing

The most common places I see deal flow come from are conferences, bankers / brokers, and referrals.

What are alternative and reliable places to meet prospects?
How do you approach a new prospect in person at a conference?

^Searchfunder member‌ I saw your local to Philly as well. I'm an active member of ACG Philadelphia - acg.org and it's been really beneficial. There's also a Wharton ETA Philly Meetup that was posted on here. I just network with whoever is a genuine connection and follow up after, sometimes reach out to a few people before to let them know you'd like to connect. Then, I always ask who they're looking to meet, and that can be a good segue into who you're looking to meet. I'd be happy to connect since we're both in the Philadelphia area. I'll send you a DM.
