Companies they own
no portfolio company is on file — either they do not publish one, or their site asked us not to read it
Fit
SEC Form ADV shows a PE sponsor in the secondary regulatory assets under management band with one or more private funds; no dated intent signal is in the bundle.
Strong fit · Fit · Watch is our reading of four things: whether the firm matches the thesis, whether there is someone senior to write to, whether anything has happened recently that gives a reason to write, and whether there is evidence they need this. A firm on Watch is not a no; it is one where only the first of the four is true today.
People
Roles, never names — a person's name and address stay in the outreach system and never appear on a page.

Activity
nothing public in the last year that we could attach to this firm — we watch the news and SEC fund filings, and this fills as they make moves

Before it goes
evaluated at send; nothing has gone yet
Before any email leaves, six things are checked and written against that email: where the firm is, whether they are a business contact, why we are allowed to write, whether they are on a do-not-contact list, and that the unsubscribe line and postal address are in the message. A message cannot reach the send step without that record.
