@HuntPalmer88 We can’t see anything because EspN app not streaming right now.

Man, that's just tough to watch for Jalen Reed.

@SECNetwork LSU-FSU not streaming on the app right now!!!

Option 4: AI-Sourcing Tools New tools like SourceCoDeals use generative AI to automate target research and outreach. They pull company data, estimate size from databases, and generate custom sourcing emails. Paired with cold-calling, AI is transforming the sourcing process.

Tech & PE firms with big budgets may know software-driven deal sourcing. But how can small corp dev teams, indie sponsors, or sole proprietors in non-tech sectors find all the scrap metal shops, plumbers, or car repair shops in a region for their M&A thesis? Some ideas 👇

Option 3: AI-enhanced Databases Tools like SourceScrub, Grata, & DelphAI combine data from thousands of sources, automating private company research for M&A. These platforms offer deeper insights & direct contact with companies, streamlining deal sourcing. Great for targeting!

Option 2: Use a web crawling service. Tools like OctoParse, ScrapeHero, & Grepsr offer customizable scraping for a fee. Free options like ParseHub & Magical also exist but may need coding skills. These can help you scrape multiple sites for web-based deal sourcing.

Option 1: Hire Someone to Build a Web Crawler in Python Find industry sites with lists of relevant firms (e.g., conferences, trade mags, etc.). Hire a freelancer on Upwork or Fiverr to write a custom web crawler.

Good advice.

One of my favorite M&A podcasts. Thus episode about small deals really hits home for me. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/acq…

My 5 year old agrees…

Best ChatGPT primer I’ve seen…ow.ly/jorE50OIuzv

Great primer on the impact of interest rate increases on all aspects of M&A by @koleyjessen. Must read for deal makers. ow.ly/potC50Oz9lj

@mrduane Yes. It is silly

@ThaneGauthier Exactly. Basically, signing up for an account doesn't grant you the ability to see your shipment history. You need to take the additional step of getting an account number. I've never seen such unhelpful help in my life.

I'm looking for a good tutorial now. This site is unusable.

Great advice for B2B companies and their sales groups during COVID: ow.ly/GjOP50D7Axs

Solely relying on material adverse effect (MAE) clauses to cancel a deal due to COVID is a risky proposition. ow.ly/2isK50D7xfX

@MattTweets2Much @mrduane @RoIIseven I’m late. But it’s Go-chay in Louisiana and I’ll take Go-Thee-Ay anywhere else. Dude in the video forgot and important one.

@mrduane @RoIIseven @ThaneGauthier I've simply avoided saying my man's last name for 20 some odd years.

....what about Gauthier?
