Buy-side origination for private equity
We find every company that matches your thesis.
Give us the investment thesis. We return a researched, checked list of companies that fit it, with the evidence for each one.
What you get
A list you can work from.
Built from the sources, not a filter.
A long list drawn from where companies in the sector actually appear: trade press, conference line-ups, awards and industry shortlists, as well as the open web.
Checked against your criteria.
Each company is checked against the mandate, with the evidence for the fit written down next to it. Anything you have excluded is knocked out.
Ready to work.
Ownership, size and location resolved for every company, so the list goes straight into your pipeline.
How we work
Understand the firm. Run the mandates. Refine together.
01
We learn how you invest.
Before any mandate, we sit down with the firm to understand how you approach investment and what your thesis actually looks for: the kind of business, the sectors, the size, the geographies, and what you do not want to see.
02
We start running mandates for you.
Each one runs on research tooling we built ourselves: we research the sector, build the long list from the sources where its companies appear, and check each company against your criteria. The output is checked by hand before it reaches you.
03
We send back the list and work on it together.
A spreadsheet with the evidence, ownership, size and location on every row. Tell us what to drop or where to widen, and we go again.
Who we work with
Private equity firms and their advisers.
We work with private equity firms and their advisers on retained buy-side mandates in the UK and Europe. We are based in London.
