Originated, By DealGen Partners
Issue No. 32
sponsored by DealGen Partners:
A quick intro, for anyone new here.
I'm Joe Zanca, and I run DealGen Partners. We outsource business development for private equity firms, family offices, and qualified buyers. We work as a partner, not as a vendor. In plain terms, we become your deal origination engine.
The work speaks for itself. On average, our clients are under LOI within the first 90 to 120 days. And we stand behind it: we'll bring you 10 qualified deals within the first four months, or we work for free until we hit that number.
So if you're looking for a new platform company to buy, or one of your existing platforms is looking to grow through acquisition, let's talk. We'll get into the industry, do a little market mapping, and start putting together a qualified list of targets.

Tuesday. 4:00 p.m. Eastern.
Ted runs a distribution business. Our team called him cold.
We opened the way we always do. Who we are. Who we're working with. Why his company, specifically.
There was a pause. Then Ted laughed.
“Do you know how many of you people have emailed me?”
We didn't.
“113.”
Then he said, “You're the first one who actually called.”
113 emails about selling his business. 113 people had decided his company was worth reaching out to. Not one of them had decided it was worth a phone call.
So Ted stayed on the line. He asked the questions owners always ask. Who's the buyer. Are you a broker. Why now. We answered every one of them straight, the way a person would.
If you are open to reviewing some of the recent deals we've found, or search thesis' we've put together, lets schedule a call today.
AI made sending an email free. When something is free, everybody does it, and owners stop reading. We've seen it over and over across campaigns. The firm that picks up the phone, says exactly who it is and who it's working with, and answers questions like a human is the one winning.
When was the last time a prospect heard your voice before they read your name?
This is the part of the newsletter where we open up the board.
Every idea you'll find here is a search we'd happily run with the right partner. An idea earns its spot one of two ways. Either it's a space where we're seeing strong deal flow right now and we're looking for a buyer to chase it with us — or it's a market we've watched fragment, where we see a real opportunity to build something through consolidation.
Feel free to click around and browse our idea database. If one of them fits what you're after, reach out and let's run it together.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to compare notes. schedule a call
