What do you think about new platforms for meeting investors?

Hello everyone, 

I've noticed that the fundraising process for acquisitions is quite fragmented with several platforms being good (e.g searchfunder, linkedin etc.) but suboptimal in the sense they are not built specifically for the purpose of finding investors for SMB acquisitions. 

I'm thinking of building a prototype of a platform specifically for this use case and nothing else. 

Wanted to hear your thoughts on this and if you're interested in being an early user and testing out the platform shoot me a message.

Core objective will be to circumvent adverse selection. It’s just a very intransparent market, by design i would say
