Sourcing Engine / For funds with a thesis, not a research team
Your thesis
is a market.
Your network
is a filter.
Every fund works its network first, and most stop there. A network is a filter on your thesis, not a map of it. We count every company that matches right now, show you the ones you have already seen, and name the ones you have not.
One document. If your last 10 investments don't come out of it, it's free.
- Deliverable
- Living spreadsheet
- Guarantee
- 10-for-10 or refund
- Who emails founders
- Nobody but your partner
- Capacity
- 3 funds in parallel
Ask any other vendor pitching you deal flow for these same four lines before your second call.
01 / The coverage gap
You see what your network shows you. Not your thesis.
A three-partner fund with a defined thesis reviews a few hundred companies a year, by referral, by conference, by cold inbound. The universe that actually matches the thesis runs into the thousands. Most of it has never heard of the fund, and the fund has never heard of it.
This is not a research gap. Nobody on the team is missing information they could have found by looking harder. It is a coverage gap: a network reaches the fraction of the market it happens to touch, and it stops exactly there, regardless of how good the team is.
The count is the diagnosis, and it comes before anything else. How many companies match the thesis, active right now. How many the fund has actually met this year. The difference between the two is what a network can never produce, by construction.
The number that opens every Map
N companies match your thesis today. You've met M of them this year. You've never seen N minus M, and neither has anyone who would have told you. That gap is the only figure that predicts deal flow, and no fund tracks it, because no fund can see its own denominator.
Not a new category. An earlier stage of an old one.
Buy-side private equity has bought origination under its own brand for fifteen years: a specialist maps a sector and contacts targets in the name of the fund paying for it. Venture has never had the equivalent, in-house or out. Same category, one stage earlier: before the announcement, not after the mandate.
02 / What you get
The Coverage Map, then the Engine.
Two products, sold separately, delivered in that order. The Map proves the method against your own portfolio before anything becomes recurring. The Engine runs it forward, every day.
The Coverage Map
How many companies match your thesis, how many you've seen, how many you haven't.
- +The count, on the first line: N match, M seen, N minus M never seen.
- +Proof of completeness: the sources searched, the filters applied, what was excluded and why.
- +The validation test, run in front of you: your last 10 investments, checked against the map. If one is missing, we say why and fix the filter before anything else matters.
- +The list itself: the companies you've never seen, each with the signal that surfaced it, its date, and the founder's name.
A living spreadsheet, not a PDF. Filterable, shareable with your partners. A six-minute walkthrough, no deck.
The Engine
Who entered your thesis this week, and how fast you reached them.
- +New companies scored against your thesis, daily.
- +Contacted, with days-since-signal as the metric that matters, not volume.
- +Replies, in the founder's own words, unedited.
- +Calls booked directly into the partner's calendar.
- +What was missed, and why, every single week. A vendor who only reports wins isn't one to believe.
Proposed once, after the Map is delivered. Never bundled into the first conversation.
03 / The guarantee
Your last 10 investments, or it's free.
We don't guarantee deal count, deal quality, or a return. Nobody can, and a vendor who tells you otherwise is selling a story instead of a service. What we guarantee is testable against your own data, on day one: run your last 10 investments against the map. If they don't all come out of it, the build is refunded in full, and you keep the file.
It is the only claim on this page you don't have to take on faith. You check it yourself, against a list only you know is correct.
04 / What it replaces
The stack costs more than the answer.
PitchBook and Harmonic together run $20,000 to $40,000 a year, and neither one contacts a single founder. They are databases you search. The Map is the same coverage, built once against your specific thesis instead of a generic category, with outreach attached that runs under your own name.
The Coverage Map is a one-time fee. The Engine that keeps it current is a fixed monthly fee, set after the Map is delivered, never before. Neither is published here: you get the number on the same call where you see your own count.
05 / The objection you're already forming
You don't hand us your name. You keep the keys.
The first reasonable reaction to this offer is: I don't want a stranger emailing founders as my fund. Here is the structure that answers it, in full, before you have to ask.
Domain
The fund buys and owns a secondary domain. Not us. It is yours from the first dollar spent.
Mailboxes
The fund creates the mailboxes and keeps the passwords. Access is granted to us and revocable by you, at any time, without notice.
Copy
Every variant of outbound copy is approved by the fund in writing before the first send. Nothing goes out unread.
Volume
Sending caps are set with the fund, not around it.
Suppression
The fund owns and manages the stop list. Anyone who asks to be removed is removed, permanently.
Portfolio
Every existing portfolio company is excluded from outreach, hardcoded, checked before every send. Contacting your own portfolio by mistake is a failure mode we design out first, not a bug we fix later.
Founders
We never talk to a founder. Every reply routes to the partner whose name is on the email. We build and operate the machine. You are the only voice a founder ever hears.
06 / Track record
The infrastructure, run once already, at scale.
No fund has come out of this exact engine yet. What has run at scale already is the infrastructure underneath it: the same mapping, enrichment, and outbound stack, pointed at a universe of funds instead of founders.
8,873
Funds mapped
The full universe matched against a defined set of criteria, not a purchased list.
14,694
Emails sent
From real domains, with real warmup, at the volume a live campaign actually requires.
0.56%
Bounce rate
The number that proves the list and the infrastructure were clean. Not a number that proves a deal.
These are operator numbers, not client results. We have not sourced a deal for a fund yet. When we have, this section changes, and says so.
07 / What comes up before signing
The questions this page should already have answered.
+Isn't this just a sourcing list?
A list is contacts. This is a filter run against your thesis, validated against your own last 10 investments, then contacted. A purchased list doesn't pass that test. If the map doesn't reproduce your own portfolio, we say so and fix the filter before you pay attention to anything else.
+What do you actually guarantee?
That your last 10 investments come out of the map. Nothing about deal count, deal quality, or a return. Those depend on your own judgment and the market, not on us, and anyone who guarantees them isn't being straight with you.
+Who actually emails the founders?
Nobody at YourGTMPartner. Every email goes out from a domain the fund owns, in a partner's name, on copy the fund approved in writing beforehand. We build and run the machine. You are the only signature a founder ever sees.
+How is this different from PitchBook or Harmonic?
Those are databases you search yourself. This is a filter built once against your specific thesis, tested against your own portfolio, with an outbound engine that contacts the founders it finds. A subscription doesn't do that third part, and it costs more than the first two anyway.
+What happens to my existing portfolio companies?
They're excluded before the first send, checked automatically on every run after that. Contacting one of your own investments by mistake is treated as a hard failure, not a follow-up fix.
+What's the price?
The Map is a one-time fee, quoted on the call where you see the count for your own thesis. The Engine is a fixed monthly fee, proposed only after the Map is delivered, never bundled into the first conversation.
+Have you sourced a deal for a fund before?
No. What's proven at scale is the infrastructure: mapping, enrichment, and outbound, already run against 8,873 funds. Pointing it at a venture thesis is the same method aimed at a narrower, better-defined target. We'd rather say that plainly than imply a result we don't have.

Send the thesis in four lines: stage, sector, geography, cheque size. You get the count back. If it isn't worth 14 days, you'll know from that alone.
If it moves forward: a 45-minute intake, four questions
- 01Describe your thesis as if you were briefing an intern.
- 02Your last 10 investments.
- 03The three companies you missed that still sting.
- 04Who signs the emails, and who takes the calls.
