Sourcing smaller PE deals with cold email
Has anyone sourced smaller deals with mass-volume cold email? Talking HVAC rollup type of deals? If so, where are you getting the emails from?

Hundreds if not thousands of individuals in the LMM and search fund space do this. It can work, but it's becoming less effective because business owners are inundated with these generic, mass outreach pings.
Not to mention they have their egos boosted from all this outreach and want to sell their business for either 10x revenue claiming everything is recurring or sell their business for multiplier of their BS book value which includes their own sports car under assets
Almost like the buying at 2x EBITDA and flipping for 12x EBITDA days are over for PE....
i have seen people from shitty firms try and source deals on reddit (happy to name and shame). emails are fine.
please name and shame 😭
there's an alpine investors portfolio company called evergreen, amongst many of their other shitty practices i have seen the founders lurking on reddit asking people on the MSP forum to sell their MSP to them. it's worse than you think because they pretend to be a third party "I've heard this firm will buy your MSP you should definitely sell to them" while their username is literally THEIR REAL NAME. so embarrassing.
i found out when i was trying to help out a small business i know with some msp information so went to the subreddit. the employees of that firm shamelessly plug their companies under several threads. it's actually somewhat hilarious, i give that firm 12 months tops.
PE firms or IB?
We do email with a twist, geotargeted ads, and ringless voicemail.
Interestingly, our most actioned deal flow is inbound, so stopped with outbound as much.
