Hey Aseem — congrats on launching Roswell. Similar PE background here — been deep in lower-mid software origination lately. Would be good to connect.

Hey Aseem, similar background, weirdly — I'm from Zimbabwe, did growth equity in London, not building a software PE firm like Roswell. most lower-mid software funds I talk to are running on PitchBook or Grata, maybe Affinity, and then basically Excel and email for everything else on the origination side. but proprietary deal flow still feels thin. thesis, network, and intelligence never sync into one system — so origination resets every cycle instead of compounding. does origination look different at Roswell? — Russ

hey Aseem — one more thought on origination. after hitting this wall myself doing growth equity, I ended up building origination infrastructure for funds full-time — Axiom Equity, Noble Rock, Wingman, a few others. at my old fund we had every subscription going and I still spent half my time manually stitching origination together. the funds who systematise it early compound deal flow in a way that's really hard to replicate later. curious if Roswell has cracked that or if it's the same pattern. — Russ

hey Aseem — no stress on any of this. we documented the origination infrastructure we've built across funds — tech stack, workflows, prompts. free to share if it'd be useful at Roswell. either way, I'm around if origination ever becomes a conversation worth having. — Russ

Hi Aseem, looks like we share a similar PE path — though I'm from Zimbabwe and ended up doing growth equity in London, not building a lower-mid software PE firm. most lower-mid software funds I talk to are running on PitchBook or Grata, maybe Affinity, and then basically Excel and email for everything else on the origination side. but proprietary deal flow still feels thin. thesis, network, and intelligence never sync into one system — so origination resets every cycle instead of compounding. does origination look different at Roswell?

hi Aseem — more on the origination side. after hitting this wall myself doing growth equity, I ended up building origination infrastructure for funds full-time — Axiom Equity, Noble Rock, Wingman, a few others. the pattern I keep seeing is that the funds who systematise it early end up compounding deal flow in a way that's really hard to replicate later. happy to share what's been working if it's useful.

hi Aseem — something about this keeps rattling around. at my old fund we had a solid stack and smart people, and origination still felt like it restarted from scratch every cycle. took me a while to realise it wasn't a people problem — the tools just didn't talk to each other. imagine Roswell has a way more dialled setup — but figured I'd ask.

hi Aseem — completely separate from all that. we've got a PE origination playbook — covers the tech stack, workflow design, prompts, all of it. happy to send it across if it's relevant at Roswell. Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23

hi Aseem — I'll leave it here. the origination playbook is yours whenever — no expiry on that. I'm deep in this space all day, so if it ever becomes a conversation worth having, I'm around. Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
