Deal origination
The private equity value chain consists of the following stages: deal origination, preliminary due diligence, formal due diligence, negotiation and documentation, and closing.
Before buying or investing in a private company, you must first identify a potential target. Deal origination, also known as deal sourcing, is this first and often most crucial stage of the private equity investment process. It is a key source of competitive advantage and remains a distinctly human pursuit. Arguably, no tech solution can reliably source those hidden top-performing investments.
Essentially, deal origination is the process of systematically finding companies to invest in or acquire, with the goal of identifying targets that match the buyer's strategic goals.
The quality of a firm's deal sourcing practice directly determines the strength of its portfolio. Without a robust strategy, private equity firms risk missing competitive deals and falling behind in the private capital markets. Effective deal sourcing is therefore fundamental, as it provides a consistent flow of viable investments and identifies those with the greatest return potential.
