Q2Q - AI Native Deal Sourcing for Private Equity

Hey! We’re Brianna and Claire, cofounders of Q2Q (YC W26).

At Q2Q, you tell us the types of companies you want to buy, and we'll get qualified meetings booked for you. Behind the scenes, we find private companies and run personalized outreach to get you first calls scheduled with off-market opportunities.

The Problem

Proprietary sourcing is extremely manual for deal teams. Firms typically hire a mini army of juniors to do it for them, and the quality of output is inconsistent.

• It takes a ton of time to hire and train analysts to run sourcing
• Sourcing is a repetitive loop… research the company, write a custom email, then cold reach out to them
• The entire industry relies on the same databases, so owners get flooded with the same generic outreach

Q2Q’s Solution

We’re your team of AI analysts that gets you first calls booked with companies you want to buy. We handle:

1. Sourcing: Tell us about your thesis. We’ll go find and qualify companies that match your buying criteria.
2. Outreach: We pull owner contact info and research each company across the web and their socials to customize each outreach message.
3. AI Phone Agent: Our AI agent can directly dial business owners and ask for their availability and contact info for a first meeting.
4. Bookings: As owners respond, we book the intro calls for you. You can see meetings populate on your calendar with notes prepared by our team.

Our Ask

If you answer “yes” to any of these, we’d appreciate your help!:

• Can you introduce us to any MBA friends or search fund guys looking for acquisitions?
