Your best deals can reveal where your sourcing really works.
Don’t stop at “referral.” Ask who made the introduction, which relationship opened the door, which community brought the opportunity, and who helped move it forward.
Over time, these patterns can show which relationships and networks are creating the strongest access.
At Startup Steroid, we see the story behind your deal flow as just as important as the deals themselves.
Know where your opportunities come from. Know where your network creates value.
