Your mandate.
Our coverage.
First Canopy creates qualified owner conversations for Corporate Development and M&A teams, reaching beyond the traditional deal market.
Origination without
the fixed overhead.
We fund the research, market mapping, and owner outreach. You pay only when we produce an introduction that meets the standard agreed before launch.
performance.Fees are tied to qualified introductions, not research hours or outreach activity.
The risk stays with us.
- No minimum volume
- No long-term commitment
- No charge for research or outreach
Qualification guaranteeIf an introduction does not meet the criteria agreed with your team, it is not billable.
See beyond the
visible market.
Extend your existing sourcing channels into the private businesses that are not running a process and may never appear in a marketed deal universe.
Your team already sees marketed processes, inbound opportunities, and known relationships. We add a systematic origination layer for the private businesses those channels may not reach.

From acquisition thesis
to owner conversation.
A defined, visible workflow keeps your team close to the mandate while First Canopy carries the sourcing work.
Build the brief around how you buy.
We translate your acquisition thesis into specific search criteria, strategic priorities, exclusions, and a shared qualification standard.
- Sector and subsector
- EBITDA range
- Revenue or enterprise value
- Geography
- Ownership profile
- Business model and exclusions
Mandate fit comes first. Each introduction is made only after we confirm the business aligns with your acquisition criteria and the owner has expressed interest in a conversation.
