Hi Ildar — I'm from Zimbabwe, did M&A banking then growth equity at a European fund. Now running proprietary outreach to UK business owners. Put together a register of 322 UK companies open to sale — thought it might be relevant for Everest.

Subject B: 322 uk companies
Hi Ildar — similar-ish background. I'm from Zim and was a banker doing M&A at Greenhill, then moved into growth equity in London. Now I build proprietary origination systems for funds like yours across fragmented UK businesses. Over the past 6 months, one of my systems surfaced 300+ off-market conversations with owners across 10 sectors. I've put them together: 322 UK companies open to sale. One that looked relevant for Everest: A £10-25m data strategy and IT infrastructure consultancy providing data management and security solutions to a corporate B2B client base. Here's the link: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ Worth a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share some of the actual names. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Hi Ildar — quick second note in case this got buried. The list is here: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ It is anonymised, but it should show the shape of the work: sector, scale, owner motivation, and enough to judge whether the source is useful for Everest. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like for Everest? Useful whether you're moving on something now or just want a plan in your back pocket for the next 6-12 months. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
Hi Ildar — last nudge. The useful bit is not really the list. It is the system behind it: direct owner conversations, matched to buyer theses, across fragmented UK sectors. One more example that mapped to Everest: A £2-5m SaaS provider delivering regulatory compliance and technical information systems to financial institutions via a recurring subscription model.

Ildar — I'll leave it there. Link's here if useful later: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
