Deal Origination Services for Family Offices and Private Equity.
Our lower-middle-market deal origination team is focused on sourcing pre-vetted investment opportunities with specialisms in Tech, Media & Entertainment and Digital.
We support existing in-house deal teams. Our team provides access to off-market, exclusive, well-run companies in defensible markets, with strong margins, good growth, and management teams that want to stay.
A strong deal origination team can make all the difference in today’s hyper-competitive market.
Outsourcing a degree of work to us can be much more efficient, having an external origination team sifting through what’s out there, rather than allowing your internal deal teams to do all of the prospecting while they are also doing the heavy lifting of achieving strategic objectives in the portfolio companies and building shareholder value.
