Hey Chris — similar PE background, been deep in blue-collar / built environment origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Chris, see we share a similar PE path, though I was in London doing growth equity not building a fund like Truck 9. 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 even with all of it, proprietary deal flow often stays thin or inconsistent. the off-market stuff doesn't compound because thesis, network, and intelligence never fully sync into one system — so origination basically resets every cycle instead of building a real edge. do you disagree? — Russ

hey Chris — this kept rattling around. 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 Truck 9, or was it just us? — Russ
hey Chris — appreciate the connect either way. I'm in and around built environment origination all day — if you ever want to swap notes on what's working, I'm easy to find. — Russ
