An Evolving Origination Landscape: Renn Iaboni Featured in May/June 2026 Issue of Mergers & Acquisitions

Deal origination has become increasingly systematic, relationship-driven and competitive. In the 2026 Deal Origination Survey in the May/June issue of Mergers & Acquisitions, Renn Iaboni, Managing Director and Head of Origination at Monomoy, is featured for his perspective on the evolving sourcing landscape and how the firm continues to refine its approach.

As data becomes more widely accessible, differentiation is increasingly driven by judgment, sector expertise and trusted relationships. Monomoy reinforces this with deep alignment across Investment, Operations and Capital Markets teams and a focus on long-term coverage — systematically tracking opportunities and maintaining engagement across multi-year timelines.

Renn also highlights in the article that while valuations have moderated from peak levels, expectations for high-quality assets remain elevated, contributing to longer deal timelines and more selective deal activity. To navigate this dynamic, Monomoy responds with disciplined, data-driven sourcing to engage with sellers well ahead of formal processes.
