Hi Stephen, saw we've taken a similar path into investing. I've put together an anonymised list of 322 UK companies open to sale and thought it might be relevant for Oceanus. Would be good to connect.

Hi Stephen — 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 Oceanus: A £5-10m family-owned logistics and distribution specialist providing integrated road haulage and warehousing services for a diverse commercial client base. 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.

Hi Stephen — 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 Oceanus.

Hi Stephen — 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 Oceanus: A £5-10m specialist food ingredient manufacturer supplying bespoke lipid-based products to large-scale industrial food processors and retail producers. 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.

Stephen — 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.
