Why 60% of acquisition entrepreneurs miss the best deals

You wake up to find a cash-flowing SaaS business listed on Flippa at a 6x multiple. By lunch, it is sold. This happens because 60% of the best deals never hit public marketplaces. Brokers and smart sellers move them off-market to avoid bidding wars, marketplace fees, and tire-kickers. You are left chasing scraps. Deal Alert AI changes that equation.

How we identify off-market businesses before they go public

Our sourcing team runs daily outreach to brokers, business owners, and acquisition advisors across 12 verticals. We score every opportunity against the same 12 metrics we use on public listings: revenue quality, growth trajectory, SDE multiple, churn risk, owner dependency, and 7 others. Only the top 8% make your pipeline. You get first access before any listing happens.
