The Docket sources, screens and scores private market deals, and publishes the reasoning, so investors can see what is available and what deserves a closer look.
The Docket is published by L&N Collective LLC and run by a small and mighty team with backgrounds in big tech and private-capital investing, backed by automation and technology that sources publicly available deals at scale.
The Docket accepts no sponsor payments and no referral fees, and has no commercial relationship with the deals it scores. A sponsor cannot pay to be reviewed, to be scored higher, or to be left out. Every deal is checked against the same rules.
Every week our automated sourcing screens 1,000+ private deals across SEC filings, business-for-sale marketplaces, private credit and real estate platforms, and other channels, then removes the noise with one set of criteria.
Each deal that advances is scored 0 to 100 on deal structure, operator track record and market conditions, the same way whether it's a loan note, a car wash or an apartment building.
The week's deals, a deep dive on a standout, and articles on the judgment behind them. Good scores and bad ones, with the strength, the risk and where every point came from.
Operators are checked against public records. An operator clears verification when at least two of four points can be independently established: a matching legal entity name, a prior SEC Form D, a website with deal history, and a named principal with a traceable background.
The Docket is not a newsletter, a publication or an adviser. It is an intelligence platform that brings access and knowledge to the private market by surfacing and scoring deals. It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer or fund manager. A score is an editorial judgment from public information at the time of review. It is not a prediction of returns, a recommendation, or investment advice, and scores aren't updated after publication.
