M&A Deal Sourcing

Expand your pipeline with targeted off-market opportunities

Great acquisitions start with the right opportunities. Proven helps you build a steady pipeline of qualified, off-market companies that fit your growth thesis — while maintaining strong relationships with brokers and advisors.

Why Deal Sourcing Matters

Finding the right company is often the hardest part of the M&A journey. Challenges include:

  • Thin or reactive deal flow.
  • Reliance only on inbound or brokered opportunities.
  • Difficulty identifying and screening companies that truly fit.
  • Limited bandwidth to run consistent outreach.

How Proven Helps

We combine data, research, and outreach to give you proprietary visibility into opportunities:

  • Thesis-driven targeting aligned with your growth strategy.
  • Direct outreach to business owners for off-market conversations.
  • Early screening and analysis to prioritize quality opportunities.
  • Pipeline management and reporting to track progress and maintain momentum.

What You Get

  • A wider funnel of acquisition opportunities, both brokered and off-market.
  • Proprietary outreach campaigns that spark conversations early.
  • Deal screening support so you can focus only on the most promising targets.
