Private Equity
Targeted Buy-Side Origination for Add-On and Platform Growth
​Connect Corporate Finance is a buy-side only M&A advisory firm supporting private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies with tailored origination solutions.
​
We operate across two core areas:
(1) Add-on origination for portfolio companies – sector specialist or mandate-led coverage
(2) Platform sourcing for new investment thesis
​
We support portfolio management teams where internal bandwidth is limited or origination infrastructure is not in place. Our role includes research, market mapping, structured outreach, valuation input and deal coordination. We engage directly with privately held businesses, often initiating proprietary, off-market conversations.
​
We also work with investment teams seeking early-stage access to sectors or themes aligned to fund strategy. Our focus sectors are logistics, human capital, and B2B software, though our origination model is applicable across other verticals.
​
Connect provides investors with detailed insight, including ownership structures, trading profile and shareholder intent. Our cross-border experience, particularly in freight and staffing, adds value to both platform and add-on sourcing initiatives.
​
We operate with discretion, pace and sector knowledge, helping clients build qualified M&A pipelines that align with their mandate, timing and thesis. For platform, add-on or market coverage support, please contact us.
