Run more theses than your headcount should allow.

A two-analyst team can hold one or two live theses at a time. DealTree carries the universe-building and the research for several at once, so the fund pipeline stays full without adding seats.

The problem

Lean deal teams are slowed down by headcount, not conviction.

The pipeline is headcount-bound

Every new thesis costs weeks of analyst time before it produces a single name worth a call. Theses get shelved because nobody is free, not because they were wrong.

Everyone screens the same list

Competing funds run the same providers against the same industry codes and arrive at the same twelve companies, all of them already represented.

IC wants the method, not the list

A target list without a visible screen behind it does not survive the room. Rebuilding the reasoning after the fact costs more than the screen did.

What DealTree does

Built for private equity.

✓
Add-on mapping

Platform thesis described in plain language and matched on business model rather than SIC or NAICS code

✓
Succession plays

Founder-owned companies approaching a handover, surfaced before an advisor is hired

✓
Parallel theses

Several universes live at once, each kept current without re-running the screen by hand

✓
IC-ready output

Every number sourced and every exclusion listed, so the screen is arguable rather than asserted

The outcome

A full pipeline, without adding seats.

More theses live at once

Test several angles in parallel instead of one or two.

Deals competitors haven't seen

Add-ons and succession targets surfaced before a process starts.

IC-ready from the start

Every target arrives with its reasoning and sources.

In practice

Value that compounds over time

From the first thesis

A partner describes a new angle in a paragraph, and DealTree turns it into working criteria and a first ranked universe.

As it keeps running

The universe stays current on its own, with every cut listed and newly fitting companies flagged as they appear.

Over time

Research, warm paths, and relationship history build on each other, so every new thesis starts further ahead than the last.
