Hey Hakan — similar PE background, been deep in lower-mid consumer & industrial origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.

Hey Hakan, see we share a similar PE path, though I was in London doing growth equity not building a lower-mid platform like Altin. most funds at this stage have stacked up a pretty solid toolkit — PitchBook, a CRM like Affinity or DealCloud, maybe Grata, sourcing consultants, the works. but proprietary deal flow still doesn't match the investment in tools. everything sits in silos — thesis over here, network over there, data somewhere else — so the off-market pipeline never really compounds. keen to know if Altin sees the same thing, or if you've cracked something better? — Russ

hey Hakan — was thinking about this more. when I was doing growth equity we had every subscription going — PitchBook, CRM, enrichment tools, the lot — and I still spent half my time manually pulling origination together across all of it. always wondered if that was just us being disorganised or if it's genuinely universal. did you ever run into that at Altin, or was it just us? — Russ

hey Hakan — appreciate the connect either way. I'm in and around lower-mid consumer & industrial origination all day — if you ever want to swap notes on what's working, I'm easy to find. — Russ
