Connection Request

Hi Michael, I help lean acquisition teams get owner conversations without adding internal BD. Built systems for UK funds like Axiom and Mentmore, with some campaigns seeing 20-30% reply rates. Thought it might be relevant for EQT Growth.

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

Hi Michael — 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 EQT Growth: A £50m+ AI-driven digital marketing and automated search platform provider serving global retailers on a performance-based acquisition model. Here's the link: https://sample.searchloop.ai/ Worth 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 Michael — 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 EQT Growth. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like for EQT Growth? Useful whether you're moving on something now or just want a plan in your back pocket for the next 6-12 months. — 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 Michael — 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 EQT Growth: A £25-50m creative technology studio delivering AI-driven immersive digital experiences and software consultancy for international blue-chip clients. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like?

Email 4 — Breakup

Michael — 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.
