Hi Hubert — I'm from Zimbabwe, did M&A banking then growth equity at a European fund. Now running proprietary outreach to UK business owners. Put together a register of 322 UK companies open to sale — thought it might be relevant for Equistone.

Hi Hubert — I'm from Zimbabwe, ended up doing growth equity for a European fund. Different path to backing mid-market buyouts, but close enough that we're probably looking at similar businesses. I run proprietary deal origination for funds like yours across UK owner-managed businesses. Off the back of 300+ direct conversations with owners across 10 sectors, I've put together a password-protected register of 322 companies open to sale. Only sharing it with a handful of funds, and figured you may want a look. Want me to send it across? — Russ searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Hubert — similar-ish background. Though, I'm from Zim and did M&A then growth equity in London not too different from backing mid-market buyouts. 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 now put them all together in a password-protected list. (All 322 companies open to sale.) Do you want to take a look? — Russ searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23

Hi Hubert — in case this got buried. A bit more detail: I've built proprietary deal origination infrastructure for 20+ search funds and PE groups. Bespoke software that connects a system of record with research agents, scraping, thesis-matching, and multi-channel outreach (LinkedIn, email on private Ips, WhatsApp). All to get qualified replies. The 322-company UK register is one output of the pipeline. Want me to send it across? — Russ

Hi Hubert — last nudge before I move on. Short version: 322 UK companies open to sale, mapped from 300+ direct owner conversations. Anonymized, password-protected, 10 sectors — you pick. Reply and I'll send. — Russ

Hubert — going to assume the timing's off. I'll leave it there. The register of 322 UK companies is yours whenever you want it — just reply. — Russ
