Hey Jasper — congrats on launching Positive Risk. Similar IB → PE background here — been deep in multi-asset origination lately. Would be good to connect.
Hey Jasper, similar background, weirdly — I'm from Zimbabwe, did growth equity in London, not launching a multi-strategy holdco like PRH. most funds I talk to have a database — PitchBook or Grata — maybe a CRM, and then the origination setup is mostly Excel and email from there. but proprietary deal flow still feels thin. thesis, network, and intelligence never sync into one system — so origination resets every cycle instead of compounding. does origination look different at PRH? — Russ

hey Jasper — one more thought on origination. after hitting this wall myself doing growth equity, I ended up building origination infrastructure for funds full-time — Axiom, Noble Rock, Mentmore, a few others. I hit this exact problem at my old fund — tonnes of subscriptions, decent CRM, nothing connecting it all. the funds who systematise it early compound deal flow in a way that's really hard to replicate later. curious if PRH has cracked that or if it's the same pattern. — Russ
hey Jasper — appreciate the connect either way. we documented the origination infrastructure we've built across funds — tech stack, workflows, prompts. free to share if it'd be useful at PRH. either way, I'm around if origination ever becomes a conversation worth having. — Russ

Hi Jasper, looks like we share a similar PE path — though I'm from Zimbabwe and ended up doing growth equity in London, not building a multi-strategy holdco like PRH. I build origination systems for funds — Axiom Equity, Noble Rock, Mentmore Capital, a few others. as part of that we've mapped a batch of business services companies — staffing, managed services, accounting — pulled from industry directories and association databases. given PRH's multi-asset approach, figured some of these might fit. happy to share a sample — just reply and I'll send you the link.

hi Jasper — should probably explain where that came from. at my old fund we had a solid stack and smart people, and origination still felt like it restarted from scratch every cycle. took me a while to realise it wasn't a people problem — the tools just didn't talk to each other. did you ever run into that at PRH, or was it just us? Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
hi Jasper — something about this keeps coming back. one thing I've noticed across funds — the ones that systematise origination in years 1-2 vs those that wait until year 4-5 end up in very different positions. the early ones compound. the late ones keep resetting. curious if that matches what you're seeing at PRH. Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
hi Jasper — completely separate from all that. we've got a playbook that covers the full origination stack — data sources, outreach workflows, the automations that actually work. let me know if you'd want a copy. Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
hi Jasper — I'll leave it here. the company list and playbook are yours whenever — no expiry. I'm deep in this space all day, so if it ever becomes relevant at PRH, I'm around. Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
