Connection Request

Calvin — been working on outbound origination with veteran-focused trade and healthcare funds and Vets and Valor has been on my radar. would be good to connect.

Cold DM (Sales Nav)

Calvin — though we share a PE background (you building Vets and Valor, me at Treis in London), I've seen first-hand how challenging early proprietary origination can be. Jealous of what you've built at Vets and Valor. Been helping funds like Mentmore and Wingman with their outbound origination — curious what email infrastructure you're using these days — still mostly on shared IPs like Instantly, or have you moved to private/dedicated senders? Happy to share what's working best for similar veteran-focused trade and healthcare funds if useful. — Russ

Calvin — hope you're having a good Wednesday. wanted to reach out — congrats on launching Vets and Valor Capital — always impressed by those who've taken the leap. though we share a PE background, I hope to one day do the same. in the meantime I've been working on outbound origination with funds like Backer Group and Mentmore — curious what email infrastructure you're using for your origination outreach these days — still mostly on shared IPs like Instantly, or have you moved to private/dedicated senders? very best, Russell linkedin.com/in/russellt23
