What Q2Q does

Q2Q is the AI-native outbound engine for deal sourcing. Tell us the types of companies you want to buy, and we'll get qualified meetings booked for you. You can think of Q2Q as your personal team of AI interns. You give us your buying criteria, and we'll go out and find companies, write personalized emails, and get first calls booked with business owners for you. As the human in the loop, you'll approve messages before we send. Q2Q handles the sourcing work so you can focus on evaluating great deals.

Private equity deal sourcing with AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Q2Q as an AI-native outbound engine that finds acquisition targets for private equity teams. You tell us the types of companies you want to acquire, and we use AI to identify companies, draft personalized outreach emails, and book qualified meetings. The human approves messaging, but we handle the busywork of sourcing so equity teams can focus on evaluating deals.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and would stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where the fintech and private equity SaaS communities thrive. Being here helps us stay close to users and investors.
