You ran the same SIC code filter in PitchBook that three other firms in your fund size range ran this morning. The CIM hits your inbox the same week it hits theirs. Proprietary deal flow doesn't come from a better database. It comes from finding the operator before the banker does.
The PE firms with consistently lower entry multiples aren't better negotiators. They're better sourcers. They built a relationship with the CEO of a regional industrial services company two years before that CEO decided to sell. They knew the second-generation family business owner was thinking about transition because they'd been having coffee quarterly. That relationship started because someone identified the operator by trajectory, not by transaction.
Describe the operator profile behind your thesis in plain language: founders of specialty manufacturing businesses operating 10-plus years with acquisition history. CloneICP finds 20-50 matching operators from public professional data. No banker, no process, no auction. Just a list of people to start building relationships with.
Find the operator before the banker finds you.

How This Is Different
You know the problem. Here's what changes.
- Databases show companies already in-market or recently transacted
- Banker-sourced deals mean competitive processes and higher multiples
- SIC code filters miss companies that do not fit neat industry categories
- Everyone in your fund size range is fishing in the same database
- Describe the operator profile behind your thesis, not just company characteristics
- Find company leaders before they engage an intermediary
- Discover operators in adjacent verticals building the same kind of business
- Build relationship-first deal flow from publicly available information
