How the platform works

Gravity reflects how lower-middle-market transactions actually get done — privately and confidentially. There are no public listings and no open deal searching. Here's the flow.

The buy-side describes its criteria

Acquirers and investors granularly define their interests — size, geography, structure, and vertical — so the platform knows exactly what they're after.

The sell-side inputs the deal

Advisors enter details of the company or transaction through a confidential, private research tool — never a public listing.

The engine recommends matches

Gravity analyzes every buyer's criteria and privately recommends matching parties for the sell-side to approach, ordered by relevance.

The sell-side chooses who to engage

The advisor reviews each buyer profile, selects who to approach, and tailors every message and attachment. All sending is direct.

Buyers receive a true fit

Recipients get the opportunity in their inbox and account — knowing it fits their preferences and comes from a qualified party.

The deal moves to close

NDAs are executed digitally, documents are shared securely, and the whole process stays organized in one place.

Why it's different

Private, controlled, and relevance-ranked

To the sell-side, Gravity is an efficient way to discover and prioritize the right buyers for any deal. To the buy-side, it maximizes coverage of relevant opportunities coming from owners and boutique advisory firms.

No public listings

Nothing is searchable. The sell-side controls who sees a deal and when.

Relevance over reach

Matches are ranked by fit, so outreach lands with the right people.

Reputation built in

Closed-deal badges and responsiveness data inform every engagement.
