Kearney <grk@stackerholdings.com> Subject: stacker holdings & lower middle market industrials G.R. — I came across Stacker Holdings and your focus on lower middle-market industrials and manufacturing businesses (CM Industries, Acme Finishing, etc.) — and thought it made sense to reach out for a couple reasons: 1.) we've been building custom deal origination systems for funds with a similar profile to yours and 2.) we share a somewhat overlapping path — I spent time in IB (Greenhill, Credit Suisse) before moving to the investing side at a growth equity fund in London, where I was doing direct deals into B2B service and industrial businesses. Of our active clients, the one closest to what you're doing at Stacker is Backer Group in the UK. They acquire founder-run service and light manufacturing businesses. Small team (like yours as an independent sponsor), so the system handles origination in the background — sourcing targets, scoring on owner readiness and acquisition fit, running personalized outreach via LinkedIn, email, and even personalized letters. Everything integrates live with their CRM. They still approve copy and stay in the loop, but the leverage is massive and they can focus on deals and portfolio companies instead of grinding on sourcing. also — I noticed your interest in employee ownership and the people-centric approach you take to building these businesses. that's pretty rare in PE and it's refreshing honestly. Given we've already built out this infrastructure for similar funds, I wondered if you wanted to take a look under the hood? Might be useful for Stacker's origination efforts, especially as you're looking at Midwest industrial companies where the mapping and scoring layer can surface a lot of targets that don't show up on typical deal lists. No worries if not — but if you're curious, I'm fairly free this week and next. very best, Russell searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23 | |

Kurt Lentz Operating Partner Panos Partners Tel: 310-386-1611 Email: klentz@panospartners.com From: Russell Taylor <rt@momen2um.com> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2026 9:04 AM To: klentz@panospartners.com Subject: Wedge West's Origination Engine Kurt — hope you had a good weekend. wanted to reach out for two reasons: a) congrats on launching Wedge West — always impressed by those who've taken the leap. though we share a PE background, I hope to one day do the same. b) in the meantime I've been building highly bespoke deal origination engines for investors like you — just finished one for Backer Group in the UK also sourcing founder-owned service and manufacturing businesses. It takes your thesis, maps targets across various data sources incl. google maps, and runs the full engagement cycle (email/linkedin/whatsapp) — connected live to the crm. worth a quick call given how lean your team is? can walk you through what we built for Backer. very best, Russell linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: also built a 7-question benchmark to find out if you're the origination bottleneck → searchloop.ai/benchmark | |

| Kamal Solaiman General Partner | Sinbad Capital | Maybe Later | The prospect stated they have no immediate need but suggested a conversation in the future. | Russ: This is not something of need in the near term, so perhaps a convo at some point in the future On Mon, Feb 9, 2026 at 2:23 PM Russell Taylor <rt@momen2um.com> wrote: Kamal — Your M.S. thesis on applying AI to executive decision-making is cool — written in the mid-90s, well before most people were thinking about it. And now building a debt-free, ethics-first PE firm around those same principles. That's a genuinely unusual arc. I spent three years deploying €10-30M growth equity tickets into European companies. Loved the investing, hated how much time I burned trying to find the right deals. So I built SearchLoop to fix that. Now we run it for other firms — Noble Rock Software uses it to source founder-led B2B targets across their 18+ portfolio company strategy, and Backer Group in the UK uses it to find service and light manufacturing businesses for acquisition. The system is built custom to each firm: maps companies matching your thesis, scores them on the criteria you actually care about → gets owner contacts and runs personalized outreach → books meetings straight into your calendar. It plugs into your existing CRM, email, and calendar, and you see exactly what's happening at every step. What got me thinking about Sinbad specifically is the combination of a values-driven thesis with what sounds like a relatively lean team. When I was at Treis with a small team, the sourcing bottleneck was real — and I imagine it's even more acute when you're filtering for ethical alignment on top of financial fit. That's exactly the kind of nuanced scoring we build into the system. Worth a quick call to see if it could help? Russ searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23 | |
