Connection Request

Hi Brendan — 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 CPC.

Email 1A — The Give

Hi Brendan — 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 Cypress Point: A £2-5m SaaS provider delivering regulatory compliance and technical information systems to a large base of global financial institutions. 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.

Email 2 — Follow-up

Hi Brendan — 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 Cypress Point. Want a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share the names behind the examples. — 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

Hi Brendan — 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 Cypress Point: A £10-25m specialist consultancy providing data strategy, architecture design, and security solutions to a broad base of corporate clients. 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.

Email 4 — Breakup

Brendan — 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.
