More information
Long-running online deal sourcing marketplace connecting 620,000+ members across 200 countries with listings spanning businesses for sale, real estate, financial assets, and funding sources, using an AI recommendation engine to surface relevant deals. DealStream began in 1995 as MergerNetwork and rebranded in 2018 to reflect a broader scope beyond traditional mergers, today connecting buyers, sellers, investors, and intermediaries across businesses for sale, investment properties, financial assets, franchise opportunities, and funding sources. Search Genius, the platform's AI recommendation engine, scans the database around the clock and sends a daily digest of matching opportunities based on a member's stated interests and browsing activity. Membership is free, with a Pro Buyer plan priced around $40/month unlocking full seller contact access; the platform has supported more than 15,000 completed deals and counts members across 200 countries, giving it international reach that most business-for-sale marketplaces lack.

- Search Genius AI engine pushes matched deals to buyers and matched buyers to sellers, rather than relying on passive listings
