Seastone is a deal-sourcing intelligence engine that identifies privately held, owner-operated US businesses approaching an ownership transition -- 12 to 30 months before they engage a broker. Most sourcing platforms find companies after intent has been signaled: a listing, a teaser, a founder who answered a survey. By then the process is competitive and the price is already moving. Seastone works from the other end. We monitor mandatory public disclosure filings and public records -- the things a business is required to file when its ownership, structure, financing, benefits, or succession arrangements change -- and treat the filing itself as the qualification. No self-reported intent. No scraping the same marketplaces everyone else is already watching. Every prospect is delivered with the underlying record attached, so your team can see exactly why a company surfaced and judge it for themselves. Built for the people who source their own deals: independent sponsors, lower-middle-market private equity, roll-up platforms, family offices, and sell-side advisors. Fresh batches every month.
