Find the deals no one else is pitching
The best acquisitions aren't on a banker's list. Linkt surfaces founder-led businesses with natural transition signals — aging owners, no succession plan, plateaued growth — before they ever consider going to market.
Signal-driven deal sourcing
Linkt researches thousands of businesses to find the ones where ownership transition is likely — long before a broker gets involved or a competitor makes a call.
