In order for a member to be recommended for your deal, they must match appropriately with the criteria based on their investment intent.
The most common reasons for a limited recommendation list are:
- The deal has already been shared with all currently relevant buyers
- The deal is pre-revenue or less than ~$5M in revenue
- The company is not profitable or has very low EBITDA
- The company is not based in North America
- The deal is for project financing with no current revenue or EBITDA
- The deal is a real estate project or asset, and therefore not an operating company
