Lower middle market deal sourcing is broken. The best companies are invisible to existing tools.

01

Data deserts below $50M EV

PitchBook and Capital IQ were built for large cap. In the LMM, company data is fragmented across state filings, local directories, and conference lists no one aggregates.

02

Databases, not engines

Existing tools make you search. SourceVault pushes deals to you, scoring targets on readiness signals like owner age, advisor engagement, and industry fragmentation.

03

$20K+/year for stale data

Grata, SourceScrub, and Cyndx charge enterprise prices for data that's often inaccurate at the lower end. Independent sponsors and search funds are priced out entirely.

04

Consolidation chaos

Datasite acquired both Grata and SourceScrub. Users report uncertainty about product direction, rising prices, and declining support. The window is open.

From signal to pipeline in minutes

Step 01

Define your thesis

Set your investment criteria: sector, revenue range, geography, ownership type, deal size. SourceVault learns your preferences over time.

Step 02

AI surfaces targets

Our engine scans public filings, business registrations, conference data, advisor networks, and web signals to identify companies that match your criteria and show deal readiness.

Step 03

Score and export

Every target gets a deal readiness score based on proprietary signals. Export directly to your CRM or deal management platform. No more spreadsheet chaos.

Built for the deals that don't show up on PitchBook

The lower middle market is structurally inefficient. That's the opportunity for PE firms. But it's also why existing tools fail here, they were designed for a different scale.

SourceVault is LMM-native. Every data source, scoring model, and workflow is optimized for the $10M-$250M range where proprietary sourcing is the only edge that matters.

Every great deal starts with seeing what others miss

The lower middle market is a $2-4 trillion opportunity hiding in plain sight. SourceVault exists to make the invisible visible, giving PE firms, family offices, and independent sponsors the sourcing edge that defines fund performance.
