This month in the 10X Vets Acquisitions & Exits Circle led by Jake Dulle, members explored how AI is transforming deal sourcing and why clarity in search strategy still determines success in today’s acquisition market.
This month’s guest speaker, George Wellmer, founder of Tupelo, a business brokerage CRM and deal marketplace, demonstrated how modern tools can generate large lists of potential acquisition targets in minutes. The conversation highlighted how technology is making deal sourcing faster and more accessible for buyers.
George emphasized a key principle that resonated with the group: AI does not fix a bad search. It simply accelerates it. When buyers approach sourcing with broad or unclear criteria, AI tools only amplify the noise rather than helping identify better opportunities.
Members also discussed how the acquisition landscape has shifted as more buyers gain access to similar data and sourcing platforms. Because sourcing information is increasingly commoditized, credibility, positioning, and clear communication have become the factors that determine whether brokers and sellers respond.
The group also explored practical outreach strategies, noting that short, direct messages tend to perform better than long explanations. Consistent follow-up and clear communication remain important advantages for buyers navigating competitive deal environments. What is 10X Vets?
