Hey Peter — similar PE background, been deep in vertical software origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Peter, see we share a similar PE path, though I was in London doing growth equity not backing vertical SaaS founders like Unbundled. 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. wondering if that's still how it plays out at Unbundled? — Russ

hey Peter — 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 Unbundled, or was it just us? — Russ
hey Peter — appreciate the connect either way. I'm in and around vertical software origination all day — if you ever want to swap notes on what's working, I'm easy to find. — Russ
