Hey, trying to lateral from a PE seat (MF Infra) to special sits at a smaller, more liquid / nimble shop. Rationale is I would like to invest across the capital stack and across industries, as well as touching public / private. In preliminary talks with some names but want to put together some independent pitches etc. Question is - how do you source SS / distressed ideas? Petition, Debtwire etc.? Any tips very welcome!
