DEAL FLOW
«Поток сделок», начальный этап работы с компаниями, интересными для венчурного инвестора, на котором происходит накопление информации и выбор возможных объектов инвестирования. Также термин может отражать требования к бизнес-предложениям или инвестиционным проектам.

Deal flow describes the rate at which business proposals and investment pitches are being received by financiers such as investment bankers and venture capitalists. Rather than a rigid quantitative measure, the rate of deal flow is somewhat qualitative and is meant to indicate whether business is good or bad. The state of the economy has a significant influence on the level of deal flow. Economic expansion and robust equity markets will usually generate healthy deal flow for most financiers, while a recession and sluggish equity markets may generate some deal flow for only the most established players.
Deal flow is a qualitative measure of the rate at which M&A professionals receive business potential deals.
