How does Jonathan Abrams source proprietary deal flow?
Abrams sources primarily through his direct operator network in San Francisco, including the membership base of Founders Den, the private workspace and community he co-founded for experienced entrepreneurs. This network surfaces repeat founders and technical teams before they reach broader institutional marketing.
