Proprietary deal flow for acquirersmandate matching & priority routing
A buy-and-build thesis needs two kinds of introductions: a platform that can receive companies, and add-ons that never reach an auction. Unity originates both against the same written mandate.
Sponsors lose buy-and-build programs when add-on flow dries up after the first close. Unity keeps the same thesis live so later introductions stay proprietary.
Fragmented services, healthcare services, specialty distribution, and light manufacturing still yield owners who will take a private conversation.
What the platform must own on day one, and which adjacencies are in-bounds for years two and three.
After close, the same criteria keep generating add-on conversations.
Other mandates may fit the same add-on. Membership priority and a window keep distribution controlled.
Unity originates and introduces. Integration stays with the buyer’s operating team.

Add-ons bought in a process often erase the thesis math. Private timing protects the multiple.
Many add-on owners want a home for the company, not a bake-off.
Platform profile and add-on rules belong on the same mandate page.
For acquirers
When several qualified buy-side mandates fit the same off-market opportunity, review order follows membership.
Not a public auction. Mandate-fit scoring still applies inside each tier.
