Investment bankers who win mandates are the ones who see deals before the company hires a bank. GitDealFlow’s pre-round engineering signal flags startups accelerating on GitHub 21–47 days before the round — before they’re in the press or on banker call lists.
Bankers compete on relationships and timing. The banker who calls a startup CEO the week engineering picks up (not the month the round is announced) wins the mandate. GitDealFlow reads GitHub engineering acceleration across 4,200+ startup orgs and flags the ones heating up weeks before they’re on any database or press list.
