Deal flow
Deal flow refers to the flow of startups in the ecosystem seeking investment. It is the process by which communities or investment funds identify, evaluate, and invest in startups with high growth potential. Venture capital firms typically have a constant flow of deal-flow, which they assess continuously to find the best investment opportunities.
AW's deal flow can be generated by anyone, whether internal or external to the AW community.
Note: Deal flow does not mean a submission to the investment process.
