Deal Sourcing & Screening for Private Equity Analysts with DealCloud
Run deal sourcing & screening on autopilot inside DealCloud.
The Problem
Private Equity associates screen 200 deals to fund 2 — the screening work is where deals get missed and where junior time gets burned.
What We Build in DealCloud
AI pre-screens deals against the fund's thesis in PitchBook, drafts a one-page summary per target, and pushes the top 10 to partner review — associate time goes to judgment, not triage. Purpose-built for teams running DealCloud — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
DealCloud Integration Approach

Build on the DealCloud API or agent
Integration happens inside DealCloud — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in DealCloud with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
