Deal sourcing for private equity, origination to close

Source and screen targets with live company intelligence, run a structured origination pipeline, and manage every approach from your own inbox — one platform instead of spreadsheets plus a generic CRM.

Why dealOS for PE origination

From thesis to term sheet in one system

Built for PE and growth equity teams, family offices and the advisors who source for them.

Live company intelligence

Screen against current company data — sector, geography, size and funding signals — instead of a static list someone has to maintain.

Thesis-based screening

Turn an investment thesis into a ranked target list: sector, geography and ticket-size criteria produce a shortlist you can act on today.

A pipeline that reflects reality

Statuses update from real engagement — approached, in discussion, NDA signed — so the Monday pipeline review reads from live data, not memory.

Outreach from your own inbox

Approaches send from your email account, paced for deliverability, with delivery and engagement tracked per target.

NDAs and diligence built in

Gate detail behind an NDA flow and run diligence through the built-in data room — origination and execution in the same workspace.

Multi-mandate ready

Run multiple theses and processes side by side, each with its own pipeline, target list and engagement picture.

From investment thesis to live conversations in days.

Frequently asked questions

 

What is a private equity deal sourcing platform?

Software that helps PE and growth equity teams find, screen and pursue investment targets: company intelligence for origination, thesis-based screening by sector, geography and size, a structured pipeline, and tracked outreach — replacing spreadsheets and a generic CRM.

Where does the company data come from?

dealOS combines live company intelligence with its own curated base of companies and investors, so screening starts from current data rather than a static list you have to maintain.

Does it handle the process after sourcing?

Yes — approaches send from your own inbox with engagement tracked per target, NDAs gate the detail, and a data room handles diligence materials, so origination and execution live in one workspace.

Who is it for?

Private equity and growth equity investors, family offices and corporate development teams running buy-side origination, and the advisors who source for them.
