Sharf — congrats on launching Bazaar Ventures. been working on outbound origination with healthcare and business services investors and your fund has been on my radar. would be good to connect.
Sharf — though we share a PE background (you at Bazaar, me at Treis in London), I've seen first-hand how challenging early proprietary origination can be. Been helping funds like Mentmore and Wingman with their outbound origination — curious what email infrastructure you're using these days — still mostly on shared IPs like Instantly, or have you moved to private/dedicated senders? Happy to share what's working best for similar healthcare and business services funds if useful. — Russ
