We were losing deals in our own pipeline. So we built a fix.

Hello Searchfunder Short intro: I run Pocket Fund. We've reviewed a few hundred deals over the last couple years across US, Europe, and a few emerging markets. Somewhere around deal #300 our Notion-Airtable-Gmail stack stopped working. By deal #800 it was actively costing us deals. So we started building our own thing. It's called LMM OS. Name is work in progress :) It wasn't supposed to be a product. It was just supposed to be the thing that stopped us from losing deals in our own pipeline. But enough searchers have seen bits of it that we figured it's time to open it up and build the rest of it in public. What today's version does: the first slice we're sharing is deal intake and analysis. You drop in a CIM, teaser, broker email - whatever you have - and it: - Pulls out the numbers (revenue, EBITDA, add-backs, margins, trends) - Flags what's missing or weird before you ever get on a call - Scores it against your actual buy-box (not a generic template) - Gives you a one-pager you can actually forward to a partner or investor The goal isn't to replace your judgment. It's to get you from "35 PDFs in my inbox" to "here are the 4 worth a call this week" without burning a Saturday. Quick screen recording of what it looks like on a real deal: https://youtu.be/9mQC_HHFt28 It's a ~3 minute walkthrough on a CIM that came in this week. I left the messy parts in. This is post #1 of a Build in Public series. Every couple days/ weeks I'll share what we're building, what's breaking, and what we're learning from whoever's using it. Next up: the outreach side - how we're thinking about proprietary deal sourcing without spamming owners. Two asks: 1. If you want to try it on your own deals, DM me; we're letting a small group in before we open it up more broadly. Priority goes to people actively searching. 2. If the screen recording made you think "yeah but what about [x]" - please give me feedback. That's the whole point of building this in public. More soon. Dev
