Originated, By DealGen Partners
Issue No. 38
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.

The best funds we work with all have one thing in common. It isn't the size of the fund.
It's urgency.
They get back to people the same day. They turn diligence requests around fast. They move their calendar to take the meeting. When an owner is ready to talk, they get on a plane and go see him.
Our clients typically reach LOI in 90 to 120 days. People assume that's all about sourcing. Sourcing gets the owner to the table. What happens after that is on the buyer.
An owner who waits four days for a callback starts to wonder what else you'll be slow on. An owner who hears back in an hour starts to believe you're serious.
It matters in life. It matters especially in dealmaking, whether you're the buyer or the seller.
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.
A sense of urgency is a separator. It's not a personality trait, it's a competitive advantage, and the top investors and funds we work with treat it that way. The buyers who treat every response like it matters are the ones who close.
If an owner reached out to you this afternoon, how long would it take to get back to him?
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
