Hey Ravi — similar PE background, been deep in tech-enabled services origination thinking lately. Would be good to connect.

Hey Ravi, similar background, weirdly — I'm from Zimbabwe, did growth equity in London, not building a fund focused on Customer IRR like ROCA. most tech-enabled services funds I talk to are running on PitchBook or Grata, maybe Affinity, and then basically Excel and email for everything else on the origination side. but proprietary deal flow stays inconsistent. nothing connects systematically — the firm's thesis and network intelligence don't feed into each other, so origination never builds on itself. does origination look different at ROCA? — Russ

hey Ravi — one more thought on origination. after hitting this wall myself doing growth equity, I ended up building origination infrastructure for funds full-time — Axiom Equity, 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 ROCA has cracked that or if it's the same pattern. — Russ

hey Ravi — 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 ROCA. either way, I'm around if origination ever becomes a conversation worth having. — Russ

Hi Ravi, looks like we share a similar PE path — though I'm from Zimbabwe and ended up doing growth equity in London, not building a fund around Customer IRR in LA. 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 healthcare practices — DPC, dental, vet, behavioral health — from practice directories and license databases. given ROCA's healthcare services focus, figured some of these might be relevant. most aren't showing up in the usual databases. happy to share a sample — just reply and I'll send you the link.

hi Ravi — 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. always wondered if other healthcare services funds hit the same thing or if we were just doing it wrong.

hi Ravi — something about this keeps coming back. the pattern I keep seeing — the funds with a real proprietary pipeline aren't just finding more companies. they're finding them before anyone else does. that changes everything downstream — pricing, competition, conviction. curious if that matches what you're seeing at ROCA.

hi Ravi — 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 Ravi — 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 ROCA, I'm around. Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23
