Searches focused on digital businesses / assets?

I am on a new search with a thesis and set of criteria related specifically to digital-first businesses (software, search-driven affiliate, ecommerce, etc). Is there anyone with specific experience sourcing / executing deals in this area?

Which if any of the online listings or brokerage sites should I be giving weight to for quality? What are other recommended searching techniques for digital businesses?

Thanks in advance.

For those in this space, does anyone experience they can share acquiring businesses in local offline industries with minimal to no tech expertise and bringing that in (for example digital marketing, back office systems etc) as a key piece of an operational improvement strategy? What are some key pain points you ran into during the digital transformation process?

Hi ^redacted‌ - I am a broker with Digital Acquisitions and would be happy to answer any questions about the other brokerages in the space. I've worked with most of them over the last 5 years.
