Your thesis, turned into a list.
You know what you want to buy, or who you'd like to raise from. You don't have the names yet. We build the list from your thesis, check it, and you approve it before anyone hears from your firm.
A thesis isn't a list.
Turning one into the other is slow, detailed work, and it decides who hears from you.
It takes more hours than anyone plans for.
Finding the companies that fit, then the right person at each, is a lot of searching for a small deal team.
Bought lists go stale.
Owners retire, companies change hands, addresses stop working. An unchecked list spends your first impression on the wrong people.
The right company, the wrong person.
A note to a manager instead of the owner rarely becomes a conversation.
How your list comes together.
You're involved at the start and at the end. The searching and checking in between is ours.
Your thesis
Sectors, size, ownership, what makes a company a good fit, and what rules one out.
Research
We find the companies that fit, and the person to reach at each: usually the owner or founder.
Check
Each entry is checked against your thesis, with up-to-date contact details.
Approve
You see who's on it and why, and take off anyone you'd rather leave out.
Kept fresh as it's used.
As your sourciers work through the list, we add companies that fit and update what's changed. Replies teach us too: a company that's been sold or an owner who has retired comes off, and the gap is filled.
Yours alone.
A list we build for you is never shared with or reused for another client, the same as a list you bring. How we protect it
Can you build a list of investors as well?
Yes. The same approach works for family offices, LPs and co-investors who back your kind of deal. See investor introductions.
We already have part of a list. Can you add to it?
Yes. Tell us what you have, and we'll build around it rather than starting again.
Can we buy a list on its own?
List building is an add-on for firms that want a team of sourciers to reach the people on it. It's built to be used, and kept up to date while it is.
