What is Deal Flow?
The stream of investment opportunities an investor sees. Quality counts as well as quantity, because an investor can only choose from the companies that reach them.

20 deals this month · 3 strong
In real work
Most of Tomas's deal flow comes from founders he backed before, who send him two or three introductions to new companies every month.
In the illustration
Pitch folders slide down the chute one after another and the tally counter clicks up to 20 for the month. The grading lamp raises a tab on the 3 strong ones, so the month tray shows both how many came in and how good they were.
