I recently started my search and I have mainly realying on brokers to bring oportunities.

Distinctively from PE firms, as searchers, we lack time to built relationships and network for long runs. So what can we do to accelerate the process?

Proactive searching is the only way you will find a good deal at a good price. Most of what you are going to see on inbound deals will have been shown to a number of other prospective buyers and could put you in a competitive bidding situation that gets out of hand.
