Following up on my deal tracker intro: which LMM deal fields matter most?
A few days ago I introduced myself and the lower middle market deal tracker I've been building, WhoBoughtWho. Thanks to anyone who read it. I'm still new here, so I'll keep this short and specific.
Right now each deal entry has buyer, target, date, sector and, when disclosed, the multiple. The next thing I'm deciding is what to add. My shortlist: platform vs add-on flag, seller note and earnout terms, sponsor's other holdings in the same space, and deal source (banker, proprietary, search).
For people who work on $10-100M deals: which of those would you actually use, and what's missing from the list? If you think the whole idea is useless because the data is too thin at this size, I'd like to hear that too.
