Overview

Dealsuite is a secure, cloud-based SaaS platform that serves as a private online marketplace for M&A professionals. It enables investment firms, M&A advisors, and corporate development teams to exchange buy-side and sell-side opportunities in real-time. By utilizing AI-powered matching algorithms, the platform streamlines the discovery of potential acquisitions and divestitures across Europe and beyond, replacing fragmented manual outreach with a centralized, vetted network.

Founder story

Founded in 2017 by Floyd Plettenberg, Dealsuite was established in the Netherlands to modernize the M&A sourcing process. Built in close cooperation with leading M&A advisors, the platform was designed to solve the inefficiency of traditional deal flow management. It has since grown into a dominant European marketplace for mid-market M&A transactions.
