Hey Chad — similar PE background, been deep in senior housing origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Chad, see we share a similar PE path, though I was in London doing growth equity not building a senior housing platform like Twin Light. most funds at this stage have stacked up a pretty solid toolkit — PitchBook, a CRM like Affinity or DealCloud, maybe Grata, sourcing consultants, the works. but the proprietary pipeline rarely reflects the size of the stack. none of it connects systematically, so the firm's thesis and network intelligence don't feed into each other — origination stays inconsistent instead of compounding. keen to know if Twin Light sees the same thing, or if you've cracked something better? — Russ

hey Chad — this kept rattling around. when I was doing growth equity we had every subscription going — PitchBook, CRM, enrichment tools, the lot — and I still spent half my time manually pulling origination together across all of it. always wondered if that was just us being disorganised or if it's genuinely universal. did you ever run into that at Twin Light, or was it just us? — Russ
hey Chad — appreciate the connect either way. I'm in and around senior housing origination all day — if you ever want to swap notes on what's working, I'm easy to find. — Russ
