For Private Equity & Search Funds

Add 6–10 qualified founder conversations to your deal pipeline every month

Without competing at auction, buying the same banker lists as everyone else, or waiting on inbound. We find companies matching your thesis before they're formally for sale, and hand you the warm conversation — exclusively.

Numbers proven in staffing — the same system, applied to your industry.

You can underwrite a deal. The problem is what enters the pipeline.

You don't have an execution problem — you have a proprietary sourcing problem. Bankers shop the same names to everyone, and auctions compress your returns before you're in the room.

Path A — Wait on banker deal flow

Every fund sees the same teaser

By the time it reaches you, five other funds already have it too.

Auction dynamics compress returns

Competitive process, competitive price — the deal you actually want to win.

Proprietary sourcing happens ad hoc

Whenever an associate has a free afternoon, which is rarely.

Path B — Do outbound the usual way

Cold outreach to founders goes nowhere

Generic "are you interested in a conversation" emails get ignored.

An associate costs $150K+

Months to ramp on sourcing, and outbound still competes with live deal work.

Generic databases sell volume

The same static list every other fund is already working through.

The funds winning proprietary deals aren't sourcing harder — they reach the founder before the business is formally for sale, not after it's already been shopped to the market.

From thesis-fit signal to a qualified conversation

We install and manage the entire proprietary sourcing engine for your fund. Your team steps in only once a founder has shown real interest.

01

Find companies matching your thesis

We scan public growth, hiring and ownership signals to identify companies fitting your investment criteria — sector, revenue band, geography and growth profile — before they're on the market.

02

Reach the actual founder or CEO

We identify the real decision-maker — not a general inbox — and send personalised outreach based on their business's trajectory. Outreach runs under our name, protecting your fund's reputation.

03

Qualify, then hand off exclusively

We confirm the founder is genuinely open to a conversation about capital or an exit, then introduce your fund exclusively — full context delivered straight to your team.

Exactly what we handle, and what stays yours

We find the opportunity and qualify interest. Your team runs diligence and closes the deal.

Who we do our best work with

This works when the thesis behind it is real. It's honest to say who it's for, and who it isn't.

Probably a fit

  • An active fund or search fund with a clearly defined thesis
  • A specific sector, revenue band or geography — not "anything interesting"
  • An existing process to move a warm conversation into diligence
  • Someone who can follow up within a day of a conversation landing

Probably not a fit

  • No defined thesis — open to any deal, any sector
  • Looking for the cheapest possible leads
  • Nobody free to work a conversation the day it arrives
  • No process — we source real opportunities, you still have to close

Fair questions, straight answers

A verified founder or CEO matching your thesis, who has confirmed genuine openness to a conversation about capital or an exit — and the introduction is exclusive to your fund. Not a contact list, not a booked meeting, not a signed LOI.

No — outreach runs under our brand. That protects your reputation. A "no" from a cold message never comes back to you.

Setup takes 7–10 business days once your thesis is locked. Most partners see their first qualified conversation within two to three weeks.

Yes — we work with one fund per thesis per market. If we already have a partner in your space, you'll go on the waiting list.

Show up to the thesis strategy call, approve your outreach copy, and follow up fast when a qualified conversation lands. We handle everything else.

Scope depends on your thesis, market size and target volume. We'll walk through real numbers for your pipeline on the call — no obligation.

Your fund is ready to deploy. Your pipeline should be too.
