I'm at the beginning stages of a self-funded search and getting a grasp of available deals (industries, multiples, etc). Is anyone using AI to scrape the internet for deals and getting them into a spreadsheet with the various metrics you want calculated?

Yep - I've set up browse.ai to scrape the business to buy websites, add them to a spreadsheet and then zapier sends them through a ChatGPT prompt that filters and scores them based on our requirements. Thinking about how to build more autonomous agents that can scrape other sources. Keen to hear how you go!

A lot of deal sourcing companies already do this. Here's a list: https://thebusinessinquirer.substack.com/p/deal-sourcing-guide-by-tbi
