Hey Katharina — congrats on launching Cade. Similar PE background here — been deep in healthcare services origination lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Katharina, similar background, weirdly — I'm from Zimbabwe, did growth equity in London, not building an AI-native healthcare buyout firm like you. most healthcare services funds I talk to are running on PitchBook or Grata, maybe Affinity, and then basically Excel and email for everything else on the origination side. but proprietary deal flow stays inconsistent. nothing connects systematically — the firm's thesis and network intelligence don't feed into each other, so origination never builds on itself. does origination look different at Cade? — Russ

hey Katharina — one more thought on origination. after hitting this wall myself doing growth equity, I ended up building origination infrastructure for funds full-time — Axiom Equity, Noble Rock, Mentmore, a few others. at my old fund we had every subscription going and I still spent half my time manually stitching origination together. the funds who systematise it early compound deal flow in a way that's really hard to replicate later. curious if Cade has cracked that or if it's the same pattern. — Russ
hey Katharina — no stress on any of this. we documented the origination infrastructure we've built across funds — tech stack, workflows, prompts. free to share if it'd be useful at Cade. either way, I'm around if origination ever becomes a conversation worth having. — Russ
