Playbook for proprietary deal sourcing - pre-funding

Hi All,

I'm familiar with the general process of proprietary deal sourcing, but now I'm having a "rubber hit the road" moment and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get started, particularly as I try to source deals while I am raising capital for my traditional search (i.e. not a lot of money to spend on tools like Grata, etc.)

Is there a good playbook that goes into more detail than the Stanford Search Fund Primer?
