We screen hundreds.
You see one.
Flusso is an international capital advisory firm running institutional fundraising mandates. Every deal is vetted and prepared before it goes anywhere, and most of what approaches us goes nowhere.
What reaches you is the fraction worth your time, aligned to what you actually deploy into.
Deal flow was never the problem. Signal is.
Screening is the most expensive thing a fund does that never shows up as a line item. Analyst hours on decks that die at the first data-room question. Partner meetings that exist to establish basics a one-pager should have carried. Numbers that fall apart on first contact, after three people have already touched them.
And screening cuts both ways. The deals worth the time arrive looking identical to the ones that aren't, same templates, same confident numbers, so attention gets allocated blind. The good deal sits unread while the dead one eats a week. That miss never appears in any report. It appears in someone else's portfolio.
Every fund pays for screening. Most just pay in misses.
We've sat where you sit.
Both sides of the table, three continents, one bar for what moves.
$200M+ in transactions across the US, Europe, and MENA.
Four decades on Wall Street, from Salomon Brothers. $1B+ personally raised.
Active VC at K2X Capital. 25 years in US tech, early at Yelp, LinkedIn, and Skype.
Most companies never make it to you.
Before anything moves toward an investor, it clears the same review:
Market size, pipeline, and named logos are checked against something other than the founder's memory.
Ownership, prior terms, and any structure an IC would flag, checked before distribution.
We pressure-test the case against the objections your IC will raise, before your team has to.
Raise size, use of funds, and timeline that add up. A raise with a plan behind it, not a random number.
Responsive, prepared, and realistic on terms. If they can't run our diligence, they won't survive yours.
Questions answered same day, data-room gaps closed before you find them, a process that doesn't stall.
Four things that are true of every send.
Nothing goes out broadside. Every send is matched to your mandate. If we can't say why it fits your fund, it doesn't reach your fund. That rule holds on every deal, without exception.
By the time a deal reaches you, we've been inside it for weeks. The numbers, the team, the questions a committee will ask. Your diligence questions have answers on day one, not in week three.
Decline in one line, with or without a reason. No follow-up sequence, no "just circling back," no relationship tax. Though if you tell us why, the next sends gets sharper.
What you pass on, what you ask about, what almost worked. It all feeds the mandate profile, so each send fits tighter than the last. The next deal you see from us will be better.
You hear from us for a reason.
Tell us your mandate once. From then on, you hear from us when something clears the bar and fits, with the reasoning attached. When nothing fits, you hear nothing. Silence means we're screening, not that we forgot you.
There's no fee, no commitment, and no deal you're obligated to look at. You're not subscribing to anything. You're telling us what would have to be true for a deal to be worth your time, and we only show up when it is.
Everything that reaches you earned it.
Sector agnostic. Standard specific.
Tell us what you're deploying into.
