Frequently asked
Who reads The Deal Sheet? +
Small business acquirers, searchers, independent sponsors, and owners researching specific industries. Nearly half of all pageviews land on industry M&A research rather than the homepage, so readers arrive already evaluating a sector.
What ad formats do you support? +
Website banner placements, editorial-style newsletter sponsorships, and dedicated sponsor slots on industry reports. We'll match the format to your goals when we talk.
What does "founding sponsor" actually mean? +
We're an early-stage publication and the rates reflect that. In exchange we hold one sponsor per category, so you won't sit next to a competitor, and your rate stays fixed for 12 months even as the audience grows. Custom placements and newsletter sponsorships are quoted separately, just ask.
What does it cost? +
Placements run on quarterly or 6-month terms, and founding rates are set well below what this audience will cost once it scales. Tell us which placement interests you and we'll send exact numbers in the reply, usually the same day. You don't need a budget in mind to ask.
What creative specs do you need? +
We'll share exact dimensions and formats once we agree on a placement. Typical assets: logo (SVG or PNG), a short headline, 1–2 sentences of copy, and a tracked link.
What happens after I submit? +
We read every inquiry personally and respond within 24 hours. If it's a fit, we'll propose placements, pricing, and timing. If not, we'll tell you honestly and suggest alternatives.
