PrivSource Deals

PrivSource is a modern M&A platform built for the lower middle market. We offer two complementary products designed to help professionals find and close better deals, faster:

Deal Network is a private, curated marketplace of active buyout opportunities. All sell-side listings are vetted for quality, and all buy-side members are screened for acquisition experience and capital certainty, so sellers connect only with serious, credible buyers.

AI Researcher is an M&A-trained AI agent that instantly builds strategic buyer lists tailored to your deal. It is trained on real transactions and understands what makes a buyer a true fit, going far beyond basic keyword matching or static databases.

Our members include private equity firms, family offices, investment bankers, independent sponsors, strategic acquirers, and experienced M&A advisors. We're industry agnostic and currently support coverage across the U.S. and Canada. All members must apply and be approved before gaining access.

PrivSource's deal flow is driven primarily by our vetted sell-side members — investment bankers, M&A advisors, and quality brokers who post high-quality, actively marketed engagements directly to the platform.

Deal Network also aggregates select opportunities from public marketplaces and partner firms, giving buyers additional exposure to curated listings without needing to search across multiple sources.

AI Researcher supports sell-side professionals by identifying strategic buyers tailored to each specific deal, using AI trained on real M&A transactions to go beyond basic keyword matching and surface true fit.

This combination of member-submitted deals and intelligent buyer discovery creates a more targeted, high-quality experience than traditional listing platforms.

We offer a similar deal platform, but with some key differences:

We don't charge success fees and we don't act as hands-on matchmakers. Instead, we provide a high-quality, self-directed platform where vetted buyers and sellers can connect directly.

Every member is screened before gaining access, ensuring a more credible and efficient marketplace.

Compared to BizBuySell, our deals are typically more substantial and professionally represented, coming from vetted advisors. Compared to Axial, we offer greater flexibility and intelligence. AI Researcher is the first AI agent built specifically for M&A — helping advisors instantly generate targeted buyer lists by analyzing real transaction patterns across the broader M&A ecosystem, not just within a private network.

If you're a serious buyer or advisor focused on lower middle market deals, PrivSource likely has something for you.

Buy-side users include private equity firms, family offices, independent sponsors, strategic acquirers, and search funds.

Sell-side users include investment bankers, M&A advisors, and quality business brokers.

Whether you're sourcing deals or buyers, we help you move faster and discover better-fit opportunities.

We're industry agnostic and currently focus on the US and Canada. From software to HVAC, consumer products to healthcare, we support a wide range of industries and business models.

We focus on majority and 100% buyout opportunities. Some engagements may include minority investment options, though our primary focus remains full acquisition deals.
