Connection Request

Hi Stuart, saw we've taken a similar path into investing. I've put together a case study based on 322 UK companies open to sale and thought it might be relevant for Penta. Would be good to connect.

Subject A: one for Penta
Subject B: 322 uk companies
Email 1A — The Give

Hi Stuart — similar-ish background. I'm from Zim and was a banker doing M&A at Greenhill, then moved into growth equity in London. Now I build proprietary origination systems for funds like yours across fragmented UK businesses. Over the past 6 months, one of my systems surfaced 300+ off-market conversations with owners across 10 sectors. I've put them together: 322 UK companies open to sale. One that looked relevant for Penta: A £10-25m provider of white-label SaaS and business process outsourcing for the European specialist healthcare retail market. Here's the link: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ Want a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share some of the actual names. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Email 2 — Follow-up

Hi Stuart — quick second note in case this got buried. The list is here: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ It is anonymised, but it should show the shape of the work: sector, scale, owner motivation, and enough to judge whether the source is useful for Penta. Want a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share the names behind the examples. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Email 3 — Follow-up

Hi Stuart — last nudge. The useful bit is not really the list. It is the system behind it: direct owner conversations, matched to buyer theses, across fragmented UK sectors. One more example that mapped to Penta: A £2-5m SaaS provider delivering regulatory compliance and technical information systems to a large base of financial institutions. Worth a quick call? — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Email 4 — Breakup

Stuart — I'll leave it there. Link's here if useful later: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Prospect is open to a chat if the deals are sector-specific, particularly in regulated services.

Hi Russell, thanks for this. We tend to build up a thesis in a sector and then go searching for acquisitions in that space. We are keen on the services space, especially those with a regulatory angle. So if you have a few deals all in the same sector it might be worth a chat around the sector oth…
