Hey Spencer — congrats on launching Primrose. came from a similar background (IB → growth equity) and been thinking a lot about residential services origination. would be good to connect.
Hey Spencer, similar PE background though I was in London doing growth equity not in Dallas buying HVAC and plumbing businesses. 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 Spencer, looks like we share a similar PE background, though I was in London doing growth equity deals at Treis not in Dallas building a multi-trade platform across Texas. 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. every deal virtually sourced from scratch, nothing compounds on itself. curious if that resonates or if you've built something different at Primrose? — Russ
hey Spencer — no worries if the timing's off. most funds I talk to have tried some version of building origination in-house — analyst pulling lists, maybe using a few tools to qualify, dumping everything into a spreadsheet. each piece kind of works, but there's no system of record tying it together. the people, tools and ideas stay disconnected so there's tonnes of wasted energy. been helping a fund like Mentmore work through that. curious if you've hit the same wall at Primrose? — Russ
totally get it if origination infrastructure isn't top of mind right now — especially when you're still building out the platform and closing new locations. 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
