How We Use Our "Network" To Connect Deals to the Right Investment Groups

There’s sort of this blackbox that exists when advisory groups mention the “network” they have.

What does it really mean? How reliable is it to truly get deals done?

While I can’t speak for other capital groups and their process, I wanted to reveal more information about ours and what it is you’re actually getting if you’re a Breakout Client and we’re helping on your raise:

1) Our Deal-Validated Network

Over the past few years we have worked with Private Equity funds, Family Offices, Venture Capital groups, and plenty of other brokers, advisors, and bankers to help facilitate capital to the right groups.

Because of this, we know these people we’ve worked with, and we know their colleagues & what sorts of deals they’re interested in.

Whenever there is a good opportunity to pair people we know, like and trust who we’ve worked with before to a new company we’re speaking to that is building something cool, we make the connection.

THAT is the real “network” we have. People we have specifically done deals with, worked directly with their company, or had meaningful conversations over the years and stayed in touch.

But here’s the layer other advisors haven’t built out yet that we have:

2) Smart Matching Investment Thesis’

For every single investor conversation we have had on behalf of ourselves, or the clients we represent, we have tracked the investment thesis of the group we spoke to in a private Clay.com server.

Information on their sector focus, check size, stage preference, geography preference, etc. All tracked. All sitting in our own files.

Coming from the biz dev background we have, we knew there had to be a better way to match the new deals we take on to help raise, and the investment groups on the buy-side we speak with.

When you combine these two layers - a deal-validated network and a mapped investor database built from hundreds of live conversations - you get something most advisors simply can’t offer: precision in matching capital to opportunity.

Every raise we take on begins with pattern recognition - what’s worked before, what markets are heating up, and which investors are already signalling appetite in that space.

That’s how we’re able to compress a process that normally takes six to nine months into a focused 90-day sprint.

So when we talk about “our network,” it’s not just a Rolodex.

It’s an evolving capital-intelligence engine designed to put the right founders in front of the right capital, at exactly the right time.

That’s why we built Breakout like this to be at the forefront of the technology change in the capital markets for decades on.

TLDR → be careful about the “network” of your capital advisor if they tell you that’s all they have for getting deals done.

Hope this adds some clarity for you.

Best,
Ryan Bryden
