Hey Joash — similar PE background, been deep in off-market acquisition origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Joash, see we share a similar PE path, though I was in London doing growth equity not acquiring distressed SMEs off-market. 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 the proprietary pipeline rarely reflects the size of the stack. none of it connects systematically, so the firm's thesis and network intelligence don't feed into each other — origination stays inconsistent instead of compounding. wondering if that's still how it plays out at Reid Green? — Russ

hey Joash — 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 Reid Green, or was it just us? — Russ
hey Joash — no stress on any of this. I'm in and around off-market origination all day — if you ever want to swap notes on what's working, I'm easy to find. — Russ
