Hey Ankit — we both ended up in PE from different directions. been thinking a lot about healthcare / industrial tech origination lately. would be good to connect.
Hey Ankit, we both ended up in PE from different angles — I came through IB at CS & Greenhill in London, not the consulting and operator route like you. origination was always the same story for me — clear thesis, decent relationships, but no proprietary system of record tying anything together. 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 Ankit, we both landed in PE though from pretty different paths — I came through banking at CS & Greenhill in London into growth equity, not consulting and digital transformation like you. either way, ended up in the same place. 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 Enventure? — Russ
hey Ankit — no worries if the timing's off. most funds I talk to have tried some version of building origination in-house — analyst pulling from Pitchbook or Grata, maybe using ChatGPT to help qualify, dumping it into a spreadsheet. each piece kind of works, but there's no system of record tying it together. the people, tools and ideas are all disconnected so everything ends up out of sync. been helping a few funds like Mentmore work through that. curious if you've run into the same thing at Enventure? — Russ
totally get it if origination infrastructure isn't top of mind right now — most funds have 10 things ahead of it on the priority list. 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

Ankit — We've been building custom deal origination systems for PE funds doing succession-driven buyouts of founder-led and family-owned businesses — which, as I understand, is what Enventure focuses on. also, incidentally, we share a similar-ish background: I spent time at Credit Suisse and Greenhill before moving to the direct investing side at a growth equity fund in London. figured it made sense to reach out. One of our clients, Backer Group, uses a system we built to source and book meetings with founders of service and light manufacturing businesses. it scores targets on owner readiness and acquisition fit, then runs personalized outreach across LinkedIn, email, and even physical letters — all plugged into their CRM with live updates. They're a small team, so the system handles origination while they focus on closing deals and managing the portfolio. Given Enventure's cross-border focus and the ValueEdge framework, I could see something like this being useful on the sourcing side — especially for mapping founder-led businesses across sectors like healthcare, industrial tech, and B2B. LPs tend to like it too when funds can show them a proprietary ai-driven origination strategy. I wondered if you wanted to take a look under the hood of what we've built? no worries if you're all covered. fairly free this week and next, just let me know a time that suits. very best, Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
