Jeff - sent you a quick note about custom deal sourcing for Wingman. Been helping similar growth funds automate their founder outreach. Worth connecting?

Jeff, Saw your launch of Wingman earlier this year after your impressive run at Brighton Park - congrats on the new venture. Though I went to Williams not Princeton, and spent my banking years at Credit Suisse & Greenhill rather than the megafunds. I'm sure you get emails like this all the time, but hopefully this one is a little different. At least because it is not ai. In a previous life I was deploying €30m growth tickets into European saas companies, but recently been building custom deal sourcing systems for growth investors. Working with firms like Axiom Equity UK (£60m+ tickets) and Noble Rock Software (18+ b2b software port cos). They've been using it to map vertical SaaS markets, score founder-led targets on switching costs & mission criticality -> then reach out directly to those founders. Figured I'd reach out because Wingman came up as a perfect fit given your $5-40M revenue sweet spot for founder-led software companies. It's not fancy, but it's powerful because we build it custom to you. Handles everything from finding companies matching your thesis to scoring them, getting founder contacts, doing personalized outreach & booking meetings directly into your calendar. Worth a quick call to see if it could help scale your sourcing while you focus on the portfolio? Best, Russ searchloop.ai www.linkedin.com/in/russellt23
