What is a Deal Flow Score?

The Deal Flow Score measures how efficiently you source and evaluate early-stage investment opportunities. It combines deal velocity (companies reviewed per month), conversion rate (meetings to term sheets), signal quality (pre-revenue vs revenue-stage mix), and response latency to produce a 0-100 score.

How is the score calculated?

The score combines four weighted factors: Speed (monthly companies reviewed, 30%), Funnel Efficiency (company-to-meeting conversion, 25%), Signal Quality (revenue-stage deal mix, 25%), and Responsiveness (days to respond, 20%). Each factor is scored 0-100, then weighted and summed.

What is a good Deal Flow Score?

Scores above 75 indicate a highly efficient sourcing operation. Scores 50-75 are average for independent investors. Below 50 suggests room for improvement in pipeline velocity or signal quality. Tools like GitDealFlow can help surface pre-round startups to boost your velocity.
