Deal Flow
定义
Deal flow is the stream of investment opportunities an investor sees: the startups pitching, referred, or discovered in a given period.
它在融资中如何出现
Funds compete on deal flow quality; for founders, understanding it explains investor behavior, like fast passes on companies outside their thesis.
常见问题
How many deals does a VC see versus fund?
A typical fund reviews thousands of companies a year and invests in a few dozen at most, which is why tight targeting beats volume pitching.
How do I get into an investor’s deal flow?
Direct outreach that matches their thesis, referrals from their portfolio founders, and visibility in their sector all work.
