One searcher, one shot at the right company.

A search is one person against a two-year clock, with no analyst to send back to the spreadsheet. DealTree runs your criteria against the full universe, ranks fit, and finds who can get you in front of the owner.

The problem

Searchers are slowed down by data entry, not deal judgment.

Time spent on data entry

Most of a search is list building, enrichment and CRM hygiene. None of it is the work your investors backed you to do.

Cold outbound converts badly

A searcher with no firm brand sending cold letters to owners is starting every conversation from zero.

Investors want a defensible universe

Search investors fund a process. A universe you can explain, with the cuts shown, is the process.

The outcome

More of the search spent with owners.

The whole universe screened, without hiring anyone.

Warm conversations, not cold letters

Owners hear from you through someone they know.

A process investors trust

A universe you can show, with every cut explained.

In practice

Across a two-year search

Months 1-3

Criteria refined against a real universe instead of a blank page. The screen shows what the thesis actually catches.

Months 4-18

Research and intent signals stay current as you work the list, so nothing you mapped in month four is stale in month twelve.

Throughout

Warm paths surfaced as your own network grows, including bridges one step outside it.
