The Deal

The Deal LLC is a media organization that provides The Deal Pipeline, a service focused on transaction information, and was previously known for its finance and business publication, The Deal. The company produces original articles, insights, and data daily, exploring the finance and business sector through the perspective of deal-making. Key topics include Mergers & Acquisitions, private equity, venture capital funding, bankruptcies, and other relevant issues for professionals in investment banking, private equity, law, hedge funds, and venture capital. By 2009, The Deal employed over 120 people, with a team of 70 full-time journalists based in its New York headquarters and additional offices across the U.S. and in London. The company traces its origins back to September 1999 when The Daily Deal was introduced by American Lawyer Media, with significant backing from dealmaker Bruce Wasserstein. In March 2000, ALM transferred The Deal's assets to U.S. Equity Partners, a private equity fund associated with Wasserstein & Co. In December 2000, Rustic Canyon Ventures, a venture capital firm from Southern California, led a $30 million financing round. In 2012, The Deal was purchased by TheStreet.com, resulting in the closure of the magazine.
