The best opportunities never hit the public markets.

You already knew that. It's why you’re here. 

Because you know the best deals aren’t being discussed on Twitter.

They're not trending on LinkedIn.

And they're definitely not being debated on morning television.

They move through whispers.

Through trusted networks.

Through private rooms where REAL players make real moves... while everyone else is busy fighting for likes.

And that's exactly why we created The Off Market Memo™.

WHO WE ARE

Hi, I’m DJ Panfili, founder of getdealflow.ai (a growth marketing company serving Private Equity) & Co-Host of the Deal Flow Show.

And rather than bore you with a lengthy bio, let me tell you why this newsletter matters. 

See, my partners and I sit at this interesting intersection...

On one side, we're bootstrap founders. We've spent years in the trenches scaling personal brands, running million-dollar launches, and seeing firsthand what it takes to scale companies with no outside funding.

On the other? We're now in rooms with some of the most sophisticated minds in private equity, venture capital, and M&A. The ones you've never heard of because they're too busy building 9-figure companies to post LinkedIn motivation.

By traditional standards, we shouldn't have access to these rooms…

Or these conversations…

But we do.

And That's What Makes This Newsletter Different.

We don't have the $250,000 Harvard MBAs.
Never did the “analyst” stint at Goldman.
Don't have the "right" credentials.

Yet somehow...

We found our way into rooms that typically need all three just to get past security.

And every Tuesday morning...

We're giving you direct access to these “closed-door” conversations.

Not the sanitized version. Not some theoretical case study from a textbook.

But the raw insights these players only share when they think nobody's listening.

WHO THIS IS FOR

So if you're:

  • Building

  • Buying

  • Raising

  • Operating

  • Or Allocating

And you want direct access to insights, opportunities, and deals from the players who matter...

(Whether you're a PE/VC firm hunting for deals, a family office deploying capital, or a founder ready to raise)

You're in the right room.

Welcome in,

DJ Panfili

P.S. To help us deliver the most relevant insights to YOU... take a few seconds to fill out our onboarding survey. 

The more we know about your goals, the better we can serve you.

Because when you tell us what you're actually working on… (Takes literally 10 seconds)

We can do some pretty interesting things behind the scenes:

  • Make targeted intros that lead to actual deals

  • Share intel too sensitive for the main newsletter

  • Connect you with others working on similar plays

So if you want the good stuff...

If not? No stress. You'll still get our Tuesday memos.

But don't say I didn't warn you about what you're missing.
