Tentt builds and operates your dedicated deal origination engine. White-labelled. Fully managed.
Signal-driven targeting, direct owner outreach, and full pipeline management – built exclusively for PE firms, investment banks, M&A advisors, and commercial lenders.
The system
Five layers. One proprietary pipeline.
We turn a defined mandate into a predictable flow of pre-qualified conversations – without brokers, conferences, or manual throughput.
01 – Signals
Target Intelligence
Continuous monitoring of leadership changes, hiring patterns, financial announcements, and regulatory milestones. When a signal indicates a transaction window, we activate outreach with a relevant angle.
02 – Research
Automated Enrichment
Every target is enriched with verified contacts, decision-maker validation, firmographics, and mandate-specific qualifiers before a message is sent. Relevance, not volume.
03 – Outreach
Email and LinkedIn
Dedicated sending infrastructure, authenticated inboxes, warm-up protocols, and deliverability controls. Tiered waves: highest-fit accounts get the most contextual messaging.
04 – Qualification
Pre-Qualification
When a prospect engages, we qualify them before they reach your calendar. Mandate fit, decision-maker involvement, and transaction readiness – confirmed before handoff.
05 – Delivery
Calendar Handoff
Qualified meetings booked directly onto your calendar with structured context: who they are, why they fit, what triggered outreach, and suggested conversation angles. You walk in informed.
What we build for you
Your proprietary signal engine.
Every component runs under your brand. You own the data, the relationships, and the system.
Live signal intelligence
We monitor fund closes, leadership changes, expansion signals, and refinancing triggers daily – surfacing opportunities before they reach the market.
Scored and ranked accounts
Every target is enriched, scored against your mandate criteria, and ranked by timing signals. You see the best accounts first – not a flat list.
Delivered where you work
Signals, scored accounts, and outreach updates flow directly into your CRM, email, or Slack. No new tool to learn – the system fits your existing workflow.
Outreach done for you
We write, send, and manage every sequence – personalised to each target's signal context. Replies land in your inbox. Meetings land on your calendar. Automatically engaged.
Why Tentt
Operators, not vendors.
We don't sell you a platform and wish you luck. We build and run the system. Our output is qualified conversations – not dashboards that require interpretation.
Signal-first, not volume-first
We prioritise accounts based on timing signals, not just mandate fit. A company showing no signs of transacting is lower priority than one that just hired a new CFO or opened a second site.
We think like dealmakers
Our research methodology and messaging frameworks are built around how financial transactions actually happen – mandates, thesis, timing windows, decision-maker structures.
Fully white-labelled
Every touchpoint – emails, LinkedIn messages, follow-ups, calendar invites – goes out under your brand identity. Your prospects never know Tentt exists.
Compounds over time
Response data, engagement patterns, and conversion rates feed back into targeting logic and messaging angles. Month three outperforms month one – the system learns.
The first 90 days
What the first 90 days looks like
From signed agreement to a compounding pipeline – here's exactly what happens.
Week 1–2 – Foundation
Mandate definition, ICP build, and infrastructure setup
We align on your acquisition criteria, build your target universe, and configure sending infrastructure – authenticated inboxes, warm-up protocols, deliverability controls.
Week 3–4 – Launch
Target universe built, enriched, and scored. First wave launched.
Prospect lists are enriched with verified contacts, decision-maker validation, and mandate-specific qualifiers. Highest-fit accounts get the first wave of contextual outreach.
Week 4 – First result
First qualified meeting (average)
Within four weeks of launch, most engagements see their first pre-qualified conversation land on the calendar – with full context on who, why, and what triggered outreach.
Day 30–60 – Optimisation
Campaigns optimised on response data. Second and third waves running.
Response patterns, open rates, and engagement data feed back into targeting logic and messaging. The system improves – month two outperforms month one.
Day 90 – Compounding
Full pipeline operational. Compounding begins.
By day 90 your origination engine is running at full capacity – a self-improving system producing a predictable, growing flow of qualified owner conversations.
Outcome
A pipeline that compounds over time
Every engagement, response, and conversion feeds back into the system. The longer it runs, the better it performs.

Playbooks
Five playbooks. Each built for a specific sourcing motion.
Every engagement runs one or more of these – configured to your mandate, market, and deal thesis.
Playbook 01 – TAM
Full universe outreach
High-volume, systematic outreach against a fully defined ICP. We build the complete addressable market – thousands of targets – enrich every record, and run multi-channel sequenced outreach across the entire universe. Designed for maximum market coverage and pipeline density.
Playbook 02 – Add-ons
Portfolio bolt-on targeting
Targets companies that fit an existing portfolio company's acquisition profile. We map adjacencies – geographic, product, customer overlap – and source conversations with founders and owners directly.
Playbook 03 – Trigger
Signal-activated outreach
Outreach triggered by a specific event – fund close, leadership change, refinancing window, or planning application. We monitor signals in real time and launch contextual outreach within days of the trigger.
Playbook 04 – Reactivation
Warm pipeline revival
Re-engages contacts who previously expressed interest but went cold – past conversations, old CRM records, event contacts. Sequenced re-engagement with updated context and fresh positioning.
Playbook 05 – Sector Vertical
Thesis-aligned industry focus
