Hey Amrit — similar path (IB → PE), though I was in London not Houston. been thinking a lot about origination in industrial services lately. would be good to connect.
Hey Amrit, looks like we share a similar background — IB into PE, though I was at CS & Greenhill in London not Schlumberger and Prime NRI in Houston. origination was always the same story for me — clear thesis, decent relationships, but no proprietary system of record. the people, tools and ideas were never really connected. every deal virtually sourced from scratch, nothing compounding over time. curious if that's still how most funds operate or if I'm behind the times? — Russ
Hey Amrit, looks like we share a similar IB → PE background, though I was in London doing growth equity deals at Treis not in Houston building an industrial platform like you're doing with Winterford. the pattern I keep seeing with most funds is weirdly consistent — strong thesis, solid network, but no proprietary system of record. the people, tools and ideas are never really connected, so every deal is virtually sourced from scratch. nothing compounds on itself. curious if that resonates or if you've built something different at Winterford? — Russ
hey Amrit — no worries if the timing's off. most funds I talk to have tried some version of building origination in-house — analyst pulling from Pitchbook or Grata, maybe using ChatGPT to help qualify, dumping it into a spreadsheet. each piece kind of works, but there's no system of record tying it together. the people, tools and ideas are all disconnected, so there's tonnes of wasted energy. been helping a fund like Mentmore work through that in a similar industrial niche. curious if you've hit the same wall at Winterford? — Russ
totally get it if origination infrastructure isn't top of mind right now — you've got a new platform company to scale and probably 10 things ahead of it. the funds I've seen crack it early just tend to compound deal flow in a way that's hard to replicate later. if it ever moves up the list, I'm easy to find. — Russ
