Deal origination for partner advisors.
We handle deal origination for M&A advisory teams — identifying targets, preparing the pitchbook, and delivering it pitch-ready. Our pricing is structured so we win when you win.
How it works
A four-step engagement.
Identify the target
AI-augmented search across company data, sector signals, and proprietary intelligence. Surfaced against a defined buy-box or sell-side mandate profile.
Prepare the pitchbook
Financial profile, sector framing, buyer logic, preliminary valuation. Delivered as a pitch-ready document, not a raw data pull.
You pitch to win
You take the target to the seller or buyer with your relationship, your license, and your brand. The mandate is yours.
Aligned as partners
Our pricing is structured to keep our economics aligned with yours. There is no conflict between what is good for you and what is good for us.

Context
What is deal origination?
Deal origination is the process of identifying, qualifying, and preparing M&A targets before a formal mandate is secured. For M&A advisors and investment bankers, origination determines deal pipeline quality — the ability to bring new opportunities to clients and principals is what separates productive boutiques from reactive ones.
Systematic origination goes beyond referral networks. It requires sector-specific research, financial screening, and a structured process for building pitchbooks that are ready to present to a target's ownership. Amafi provides this origination infrastructure as a service for partner advisory firms — covering Asia Pacific markets including Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and Southeast Asia cross-border corridors.
For boutique M&A advisors and corporate finance teams, the economics of outsourced origination support are straightforward: instead of building an in-house research function to identify and qualify targets, the advisor leverages Amafi's origination capability on an outcome-aligned basis. Amafi only earns when a transaction reaches completion — keeping incentives aligned with the advisor's mandate success.
Deal origination is distinct from execution support. Origination covers everything before the mandate is signed — target identification, financial profiling, pitchbook preparation, and initial sector context. Execution support begins once the mandate is in place: CIM drafting, financial modelling, buy-side research, diligence operations, and process management. Partner advisors can engage Amafi for origination only, execution only, or both, depending on where capacity constraints sit.
