Deal Sourcing Platforms

Community -- I stumbled across a new deal sourcing platform, app.pemarketplace.co, and it's been surprisingly useful despite being in the early stages.

I'm curious... what other platforms are folks finding success with? And is there a rolling list of deal sourcing platforms with corresponding user feedback / ratings on usefulness? It'd be great to push the thinking together here and crowdsource some sort of list with community feedback if one does not already exist.

Thanks for the shoutout James! We started the business earlier this year; my primary focus is getting as diverse of a seller network as possible. Today we have 250 unique sell-side members (inclusive of M&A advisors, business brokers, and business owners). I am really trying to find as many smaller sell-side firms as possible that don't have the resources to build strong marketing functions, but have good clients (example below). Very grateful to the Searchfunder community for all the support in the early innings of our business. https://app.pemarketplace.co/listing/western-us-design-bid-build-water--wastewater-infrastructure-company

+1 to Inven. I also like Apollo, though not sourcing specific.

We also built a Google Sheets extension that's a perfect complement to platforms like Inven. It's freemium, and essentially allows you to enrich/research companies in bulk (e.g., validate fit/emails, generate personalizations, etc.).
