What It Is

DealReach is a membership-based network created by MadeMarket for investors, lenders, and acquirers. It helps them communicate their investment criteria to the market in a one-time, structured way so they can be discovered by investment banks, sellers, and other deal sources. It is more like a “buyer demand homepage + deal sourcing distribution network” for corporate finance than a general-purpose CRM.

Core Features and Collaboration

The platform centers on creating a DealReach profile, adding multiple investment mandates, listing portfolio companies, and consolidating individual mandates into a company page. This lets sellers understand industry focus, stage, transaction type, and portfolio-company-related needs through a consistent framework. DealReach also supports sharing via LinkedIn and email signatures, helping buyers maintain ongoing visibility. Its terms mention that the platform can be used for connecting deal participants, business development, opportunity management, and tools such as data rooms, document hosting, communications, reporting, and analytics, although the official website mainly emphasizes the free profile network.

Pricing, Trial, and Access

The FAQ clearly states that DealReach is currently completely free, with no platform fees, brokerage fees, or referral fees. Access is not open registration: users must submit a request access form using a work email and wait for approval. The terms of service reserve the possibility of future Paid Services and fees processed through third-party payment processors, but no package pricing, seat-based plans, or enterprise edition details are disclosed.

Security, Data, and Integrations

One important point to note is that the official FAQ says user profiles are fully visible to other DealReach members, site visitors, and people both inside and outside the service, so the privacy boundary is relatively public. The terms require users to secure their accounts, prohibit scraping and malicious content, and allow the platform to host, copy, transmit, and display user data in order to provide the service, as well as use aggregated or de-identified data to improve the product. No SOC 2, ISO, GDPR, or similar compliance certifications were found. For integrations, only LinkedIn, email signatures, Apple app terms, and third-party payment processors are explicitly mentioned; no API or developer support is disclosed.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

DealReach’s strengths are that it is free, vertically focused, and structured, with the potential to reach MadeMarket’s investment banking client network. It is suitable for buy-side institutions such as PE firms, VC firms, private credit investors, and corporate development or acquisition teams looking to expand deal flow. Its drawbacks include uncertain access due to the application-based model, limited disclosure around permissions and compliance, and the fact that publicly displaying investment preferences may not suit highly confidential strategies. Availability from China is not covered in the source text, and network and payment accessibility are unknown. For local alternatives, users may consider a combination of domestic fundraising and M&A databases, FA/investment banking CRMs, or privately deployed project management tools.
