Hi Niclas — Zimbabwean by background, did M&A banking then growth equity at a European fund. Now running UK SME origination. Built a list of 322 UK companies open to sale — two looked relevant for Ventiga so happy to share.

Niclas — Given you're backing B2B growth companies, I figured we probably share some overlap. Though, I'm from Zimbabwe, and did direct SME investments for a European fund. Now I build origination systems for funds like yours and over the past 6 months, we've had 300+ direct conversations with UK business owners. Of all those targets, the two that felt closest to what you're looking for are: • a £10-25m revenue white-label SaaS and BPO provider delivering logistics and subscription management to the European specialist healthcare retail market • a £2-5m revenue specialist SaaS provider delivering regulatory compliance and technical information systems to financial institutions via a subscription model Here's a link to the full anonymised list: sample.searchloop.ai Let me know if you'd like to chat about how these were surfaced. very best, Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Niclas — quick second note in case the first got buried. a bit more detail: I've built proprietary deal-origination infrastructure for 20+ search funds and PE groups. The 322-company list is one output of the pipeline. Another is a research piece I wrote that maps several UK services sub-sectors by opportunity and level of market interest. This is based on proprietary signal that we've received via our engagements. Here's the link: sample.searchloop.ai/research/uk-services (drone inspection, data center electrical maintenance, site prep & tic emerge are some of the featured sectors) Let me know if you'd like to chat through it or the proprietary list. very best, Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Niclas — Another fit from our 322 company list for Ventiga: a £50m+ revenue AI-driven digital marketing and automated search platform management firm serving global retailers on a performance-based model sound interesting?

Niclas — going to assume the timing's off, I'll leave it there. The list and research are there when you want them. Very best, Russell.
