Bradley — congrats on launching True North Ventures. been working on outbound origination with SME-focused investors and your fund has been on my radar. would be good to connect.

Bradley — congrats on launching True North Ventures, always impressed by those who've taken the leap. though we share a PE background, I hope to one day do the same. been working on outbound origination with funds like Backer Group and Mentmore — curious what email infrastructure you're using for your origination outreach these days — still mostly on shared IPs like Instantly, or have you moved to private/dedicated senders? — Russ

Hi Bradley — similar-ish background. I'm from Zim and was a banker doing M&A at Greenhill, then moved into growth equity in London. Now I build proprietary origination systems for funds like yours across fragmented UK businesses. Over the past 6 months, one of my systems surfaced 300+ off-market conversations with owners across 10 sectors. I've put them together: 322 UK companies open to sale. One that looked relevant for True North Ventures UK: A £10-25m provider of branded marketing materials and creative collateral managing international supply chains for a global corporate client base. Here's the link: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ Worth a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share some of the actual names. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Hi Bradley — quick second note in case this got buried. The list is here: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ It is anonymised, but it should show the shape of the work: sector, scale, owner motivation, and enough to judge whether the source is useful for True North Ventures UK. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like for True North Ventures UK? Useful whether you're moving on something now or just want a plan in your back pocket for the next 6-12 months. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Hi Bradley — last nudge. The useful bit is not really the list. It is the system behind it: direct owner conversations, matched to buyer theses, across fragmented UK sectors. One more example that mapped to True North Ventures UK: A £10-25m integrated security and facilities management provider combining operational delivery with accredited vocational training for a commercial client base.
