Should I use SourceScrub?

Improve M&A deal origination & PE deal sourcing with our software platform. - sourcescrub.com

· 1 month ago

Buy if your PE, M&A, or IB team runs continuous private-market origination and can absorb a ~$20K/yr contract. Skip if you source deals occasionally — a lighter CRM or spreadsheet covers that.

Confidence

  • Buyers needing security transparency — no public security page

Gotchas - check before you buy

Entry price ~$20K/yr via sales only; expect opaque tiers and annual commitments.
