Email 1A — The Give

Hi Helen, Given you back uk early-stage tech founders, you're likely frustrated with good dealflow. So, I thought I'd extend a small favor and share two names from my proprietary outreach that might be a fit. One is: Complete It Systems, a £10-25m Yorkshire-based provider of integrated technology infrastructure, digital security, and managed services for corporate and public sector clients. And another is: A £10-25m digital health consultancy providing proprietary behaviour change platforms and clinical toolkits for chronic disease management. The two names are part of a full 322 long list of targets that are open to sale. Targets derived from conversations with over 500 owners over the past 9 months. Here's a link to the full anonymised list: sample.searchloop.ai At searchloop, I build custom software to generate proprietary conversations with business owners. We've had success with 20+ funds, some with >£500m in AUM some with £10m. Happy to walk you through how it works. Send me a reply and we can schedule a quick 20 min call. very best, 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 Helen — quick second note in case the first got buried. a bit more detail: I've built proprietary origination tools for 20+ funds, each covering a differentiated, human-in-the-loop approach. The 322-company list is one output of the pipeline. Another is a research piece I wrote that maps several UK services sub-sectors by opportunity and level of market interest. This is based on investor signal that we've received via our engagements. Here's the link: sample.searchloop.ai/research/uk-services (drone inspection, data center electrical maintenance, site prep & tic emerge are some of the featured sectors) Just reply to this email if you'd like to chat through it or the proprietary list. very best, 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

Helen, Another fit from our 322 company list for NorthInvest: Aries Pension & Insurance Systems, a £2-5m SaaS provider delivering regulatory compliance and technical information systems to financial institutions via a recurring subscription model. sound interesting? PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.

Email 4 — Breakup

Hi Helen going to assume the timing's off, I'll leave it there. The list and research are there when you want them. Very best, Russell. PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
