Evan — congrats on launching Ocean Cliff Partners. been working on outbound origination with founder-owned services investors and your fund has been on my radar. would be good to connect.
Evan — though we share an IB/PE background (you at Barclays/TJC/Veritas, me CS/Greenhill and then growth equity at Treis), 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 founder-owned services funds if useful. — Russ

Evan — hope you had a good weekend. wanted to reach out — congrats on launching Ocean Cliff, always impressed by those who've taken the leap. though we share an IB/PE background (you at Barclays/Jordan Company, me CS/Greenhill), I hope to one day do the same. in the meantime I've been working on the origination side with funds like Backer Group and Mentmore — curious how you're thinking about origination at Ocean Cliff. mostly proprietary or still seeing a lot through brokers? very best, Russell linkedin.com/in/russellt23
