If you want to access under-the-radar targets, why compete for deals on everyone's radar?

Banks and databases overlook high-potential, hard-to-find companies in niche markets because they lack real-time owner insights and direct engagement data.

We use AI-driven tools to extract granular details like service offerings, geographic presence, union status, workforce demographics and other—integrating sources like LinkedIn activity, PPP loans, company websites and more.

This mean every lead we deliver is pre-qualified to your exact thesis, rather than relying on company databases that banks recycle repeatedly.

"We worked with traditional banks who left us competing for overexposed deals in a narrow pool of targets. We trialled other buy-side firms but SourceCo opened up a whole new world of untapped, off-market opportunities, bringing us targets we weren't aware of, which is why we went with them"

"The transparency with SourceCo was a game changer. We'd often be in the dark for months, then receive leads that were off-strategy. SourceCo sent us weekly updates on outreach progress, letting us step in at the right moments with strategic offers that aligned with our growth targets. We never missed a beat.

Faster and automated path to qualified, high-potential targets

The traditional buy-side model includes multiple layers of outreach, often wasting months just to secure initial meetings. By the time you see a deal, competitors are already engaged.

Our technology analyzes hundreds of data points per target, qualifiying each lead for acquisition fit, zeroing in on owner intent and alignment with your investment goals, cutting down time spent sorting through non-viable targets.

This lets you skip weeks of manual research and outreach, avoid deal fatigue from redundant opportunities, and focus on high-potential targets from day one

Unique proprietary data = widest market angle beyond generic company lists

We don't rely on public databases, brokered connections, which results in sourcing only a handful of companies—those that have been prepped for sale and recycled to multiple clients.

With over 20 million + SMB market data, instead of generalized, one-size-fits-all lists and limited market view, you get a tailored map of high-fit targets, matching your criteria exactly without having to worry whether the market has more to offer.

"The filtering and custom target lists meant that every introduction was a viable candidate. Within a quarter, we engaged with 60% of SourceCo’s recommendations and advanced three to due diligence."

"SourceCo's team kept us fully informed at every stage. We always knew where we stood, and the real-time updates on new leads ensured we didn’t miss out on fast-moving opportunities. It was a level of clarity we’d never experienced with a traditional advisor."

Reporting  ‘Black Hole’ with buy-side firms? Our process is transparent

Traditional advisor processes often leave you in the dark.

That's why we keep you informed with real-time, immediate updates on any new high-potential target identified, so you’re never left wondering where you stand.

Every two weeks, you receive a full pipeline report showing leads contacted, their responses, and where they stand—complete with actionable insights and next steps.

You’ll never have to ask, ‘What’s happening?’ We keep you informed and ahead.

Scale and prove impact and ROI quickly

Retainer fees and transaction costs quickly add up, often leaving clients paying for access to overexposed opportunities with low conversion potential.

Being a technology-enabled alternative that scales with your needs, we're confident in delivering better deal flow at a fraction of the typical advisory cost and showing you ROI faster than your existing sourcing vendor.

"The team understood our strategic goals from day one, which led to a several serious owner discussions. These are deals you can’t find through brokers. We've also been able to reduce reliance on multiple expensive bank retainers."
