Sample data — invented companies, illustrative scores. No live sourcing.
See which owners are warm before you spend a single touch.
A firmographic database tells you a company exists. It won't tell you the founder is 63, sole director, and has no successor in the filings. Before Market Club reads succession signals from public records and scores sellability separately from fit — so you concentrate effort on the owners most likely to transact.
Score a sample list- Founder over 60 with no named successor in filings
- Single-director ownership, long tenure
- Flat or declining headcount despite steady revenue
- No external investment or PE on the cap table
- Recent dormant subsidiary or group simplification
- Director's other companies recently dissolved
Signals marked inferred never enter outreach copy as fact — only verified facts do.
One funnel, three people who need to see it.
The operator
Self-funded searcher or independent sponsor, often a one- to two-person team, pre-LOI.
- Turn a fuzzy thesis into a precise deal box
- Rank real companies by who's likely to sell
- Spend the week on seller calls, not admin
The analyst / VA
Runs the outreach engine day to day — needs clear queues and obvious next actions.
- Work a clean daily send queue
- Approve drafts, not write them
- See the next action on every target
The backers
Capital partners who want conviction that origination is systematic, not luck.
- Read-only pipeline visibility
- See sourcing throughput over time
- Evidence the engine actually works
