How to Build a Deal Flow Diagram
Three simple steps from blank canvas to polished flowchart.
Define Your Deal Stages
Add nodes for each stage of your deal pipeline — sourcing, screening, first meeting, due diligence, term sheet, and close. Label each one clearly.
Start node: 'Deal Sourced' → Process node: 'Initial Screen' → Decision node: 'Meets Criteria?'
Connect the Steps
Draw arrows between nodes to show the flow. Add labels on connections to indicate conditions like 'Yes', 'No', or 'Escalate to Partner'.
Decision 'Yes' path leads to 'Schedule First Call'; 'No' path leads to 'Archive Deal'
Style and Export
Apply color coding by stage, adjust layout direction, and fine-tune node sizes. Then export your deal flow diagram as a high-res PNG or SVG.
Green nodes for active stages, red for pass decisions, blue for final close
