3 Keys to Deal Flow Disciplined Targeting:  High growth companies that want to delay the dilution of equity -- typically with venture capital or corporate sponsor.  Attractive firms that can’t access sufficient bank debt due to the fact their key asset is IP. There’s the old-fashioned way to find deals:  Outbound calling works – one person can touch 1k/firms a year;  Conference every week somewhere in North America; Nothing wrong with sponsoring an event; “Go where the fish are” – and that’s not behind your desk; Embrace “social media”:  Our corporate team blog started in 2006: 6 million “hits” a year; 117,000 unique visitors from 146 countries; It takes work. People seek information, opinions, real news. Visitors cover the waterfront: LPs, media, industry players, “lurkers”. And it’s passive.  Ranked #4 “Top Finance Blog” in 2009 by readers of Canada’s National Newspaper The Globe and Mail newspaper.
