Your Partner For Originating Proprietary Deal Flow

PortCo Sourcing is a specialized acquisition partner focused exclusively on the lower middle market. We work alongside private equity-backed portfolio companies to identify, and qualify off-market add-on acquisition opportunities that fuel successful buy-and-build strategies.

Acting as an extension of existing Corporate Development teams, or as a dedicated outsourced origination function for companies without dedicated in-house resources, PortCo Sourcing executes a structured sourcing process designed to consistently generate qualified acquisition opportunities.
