Hi Calum, I build proprietary origination systems for UK funds. I have a short case study showing one system that surfaced 322 UK companies open to sale. Thought it might be relevant for Lionrock.

Thanks Calum - here's the case study I mentioned: sample.searchloop.ai The useful bit isn't really the list itself. It's the owner-conversation engine behind it: tight targeting, proper deliverability, and multi-touch outreach across LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and phone so a buyer can get direct conversations with owners around a specific thesis. Worth a look - happy to map how the same loop could work around one of Lionrock's lanes if useful.

Hi Calum — 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 Lionrock: A £5-10m specialist manufacturer and supplier of critical care and thermal management medical equipment to public and private healthcare providers. 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.

Hi Calum — 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 Lionrock. Worth 15 mins to map what an origination loop could look like for Lionrock? 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.

Hi Calum — 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 Lionrock: A £10-25m accredited pharmaceutical wholesaler specialising in the sourcing and distribution of branded, generic, and specialist medical products.
