Corp dev teams that acquire startups want to identify targets before they're expensive or acquired by a competitor. GitDealFlow's pre-round engineering signal flags startups accelerating on GitHub — often a leading indicator of momentum that precedes both fundraises and acquisitions.
GitDealFlow reads GitHub engineering acceleration across 4,200+ startup orgs. The Dashboard (€49/month) lets you filter by sector to watch for targets in your adjacency heating up.
SSRN preprint 6606558. Lead time 21–47 days validated against 219 fundraises.
Pair with Grata for B2B target screening by function, and PitchBook for valuations during diligence.
Partially. It's a momentum signal, not a B2B search engine like Grata. Use it to detect which targets are heating up, then use Grata/PitchBook to classify and value them.
