Brian — congrats on launching CurvePoint Capital. been working on outbound origination with energy transition investors and your fund has been on my radar. would be good to connect.
Brian — though we both spent time in PE (you building CurvePoint, me at Treis in London), I've seen first-hand how challenging early proprietary origination can be. 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 energy transition funds if useful. — Russ
