Advisor1 was built by M&A professionals who got tired of spreadsheets, cold lists, and guesswork. We believe AI can fundamentally change how deals are sourced in private markets.
Most deal sourcing in the lower middle market is still manual: offshore VAs scraping LinkedIn, generic email blasts, and low-intelligence prospecting that burns through thousands of contacts to find one interested seller. The result is low response rates, damaged reputations, and missed opportunities.
Advisor1 inverts the traditional approach. Instead of casting a wide net and hoping, we use AI to predict which specific business owners are most likely to consider selling - then generate thesis-driven outreach that sounds like it came from a senior advisor, not a sales team.

Advisor1 is a product of FIH, a sell-side M&A advisory firm. We built this platform for our own deal sourcing needs, then realized it could help the entire private markets ecosystem. Every feature was designed by people who actually source and close deals.
