A deal origination platform is a digital tool or system used by investment bankers, private equity funds, and other financial professionals to identify and initiate potential deals or transactions. These platforms typically provide a range of features and capabilities, such as the ability to research companies and markets, connect with potential clients, manage and track deals, and collaborate with colleagues. The goal of a deal origination platform is to streamline and enhance the process of finding and pursuing potential deals and to provide a comprehensive, centralized hub for managing the entire deal lifecycle.
