Proprietary Deal Sourcing
Off-Market Deals Matched to Your Mandate. Delivered.
Vequity builds a pipeline of proprietary acquisition opportunities tailored to your thesis, fully managed from targeting through seller engagement. You only invest time with owners who want to talk.
Closed transactions sourced for firms managing $6B+ in combined AUM
You've tried buy-side sourcing before. Here's why it didn't work.
The issue isn't proprietary sourcing. It's the execution you've been sold.

The ghost retainer
You're paying $5K–$10K/month with no idea what your sourcing firm is doing. No dashboards. No accountability. Invoices arrive, qualified leads don't.

The list dump
Spreadsheet filtered by NAICS code the same list every other buyer gets. Then you're left to find contacts, write emails, and run the campaign yourself.

The rolodex shop
A 2-person firm with "deep relationships" that sends mass emails from a bad template, never follows up, and can't explain why a target is relevant.

Proprietary data. Plain-language matching. Not taxonomy codes.
Our engine searches a proprietary dataset of 1.5M+ U.S. companies using unstructured data descriptions, products, customers, and operating signals to
find targets that NAICS codes and shared databases can't.
How It Works
Four phases. One pipeline. Zero wasted calls.

Common Questions
Built for skeptics.
How is this different from Grata, SourceScrub, or PitchBook?
Where does your data come from?
Will you run the same thesis for our competitors?
What if sellers aren't interested in selling?
How do you get accurate owner contact information?
What if we don't close a deal — do we lose the $9K?
Who owns the seller relationship?
How fast can we launch?
