Buy-Side Origination
Turn an investment thesis into a repeatable sourcing process.
The work begins with the buyer's mandate: sector, geography, ownership profile, size, business characteristics, and disqualifying conditions. Metellus then builds the target universe and the operating process for reaching relevant owners.
The objective is a cleaner path from market coverage to qualified owner dialogue, with enough structure for the buyer to judge fit and decide the next step.
Market Mapping
Build and segment the target-company universe around the mandate.
Owner Outreach
Create direct, thesis-specific communication designed to earn a relevant conversation.
Qualification and Handoff
Capture fit, interest, context, and next-step ownership before the opportunity reaches the deal team.
