Hey Joshua — we both ended up in PE from pretty different directions. been thinking a lot about proprietary origination for acquisition-focused funds lately. would be good to connect.
Hey Joshua, we both ended up in acquisitions, though I came through IB in London rather than property and ops like you. origination was always the same story for me — clear thesis on what to buy, decent relationships, but no proprietary system of record tying anything together. every deal virtually sourced from scratch, nothing compounding over time. curious if that's still how most acquisition-focused funds operate or if I'm behind the times? — Russ
Hey Josh, looks like we both ended up on the buy side, though I came through banking at CS & Greenhill in London rather than property and operations like you building Offer Partnership in Bristol. the pattern I keep seeing with most funds is weirdly consistent — strong thesis, solid network, but no proprietary system of record. the people, tools and ideas are never really connected, so every deal is virtually sourced from scratch. nothing compounds on itself. curious if that resonates or if you've built something different at Offer Partnership? — Russ
hey Joshua — no worries if the timing's off. most funds I talk to have tried some version of building origination in-house — analyst pulling from databases, maybe using ChatGPT to help qualify, dumping it into a spreadsheet. each piece kind of works, but there's no system of record tying it together. the people, tools and ideas are all disconnected so everything ends up out of sync. been helping a few funds like Mentmore work through that. curious if you've run into the same thing at Offer Partnership? — Russ
totally get it if origination infrastructure isn't top of mind right now — especially when you're actively acquiring and running a portfolio. the funds I've seen crack it early just tend to compound deal flow in a way that's hard to replicate later. if it ever moves up the list, I'm easy to find. — Russ
