4-minute overview · David Walker-Dobson

Why we built this for Raine, and what running it would look like.

02 Companies we'd put in front of you this month
2 companies in your universe. 2 we'd open conversations with first.
Insanity
London · 0-1M revenue
Gaming-entertainment crossover, London
Digital entertainment platform with gaming and content integration. Direct adjacency to DraftKings and your sports-gaming convergence thesis.
Skyship Entertainment
Ontario · 1-10M revenue
Content production, North America scale
Independent content studio with cross-platform distribution. Fits your sports and entertainment mandate, Ontario production base aligns with North American content ecosystem.
03 Signals we'd track for you

Six categories. Forward-looking. Tracked across your universe.

None of these are claims we've already detected anything. They're the patterns we'd watch for, daily, on the universe of companies we'd build for you.

Leadership changes
New senior hires (CEO, CFO, Chair) commonly precede transaction processes by 6 to 12 months.
Watch: Companies House officer history, LinkedIn role changes, press releases.
Hiring pattern changes
Rapid senior team builds and sustained downsizing both correlate with capital events. The shape of the hiring curve is often more predictive than any single hire.
Watch: LinkedIn employee growth, posted job listings, departure patterns.
Capital structure events
Debt refinancings, charges register filings, and equity rounds signal upcoming inflection points and often precede a process by 9 to 14 months.
Watch: Companies House charges register, public funding announcements.
Founder activity signals
Public framing about "next chapter", succession, or sustained retirement language predicts owner-led exits more reliably than any structural signal.
Watch: LinkedIn posting patterns, trade press interviews, third-party adviser engagement.
Capacity and geographic moves
Site expansions, planning applications, and new regional offices commonly precede growth financing or sale processes.
Watch: planning applications, Land Registry filings, press announcements.
Sector activity
Peer transactions reset valuations and unlock founder thinking. Tracking the bracket matters more than tracking any single account.
Watch: trade press deal coverage, sponsor exit announcements, public filings.
04 Sample outreach

Two emails. Real drafts, in your voice, ready to send.

Sent under your name, never as Tentt. Day 0 is the cold open with named-portco proof. Day +4 is the threaded follow-up with market data.

05 White-labelled infrastructure

Every email comes from Raine. Tentt is invisible.

Each domain is a brand-adjacent variant of raine.com, registered in your name. Each inbox is provisioned under whoever you want owning the outbound, typically your BD lead or origination team. Recipients see Raine in the From line, signature, and reply-to. We run the fleet quietly behind it.

100% white-label · registered to you 10+ domains · 20+ inboxes · 2 per domain 500/day sustainably · 2-3 week warmup ramp

06 How we'd run it

Three concrete ways we'd build pipeline for Raine.

Playbook 01 · Add-ons
Adjacencies for DraftKings

Map digital sports entertainment, gaming technology, and sports betting adjacencies across North America and Europe. Direct founder outreach, framed as add-on conversation under your existing platform in regulated gaming and daily fantasy.

Playbook 02 · Reactivation
Mandate-fit dormant pass

Run your existing CRM against your deployed-shape filter. Surface dormant prospects whose situation has changed: new owner, new financing event, new senior hire. Single wave, founder-direct, framed as a check-in.

Playbook 03 · Sector deep-dive
Venture-backed music-tech and creator platforms globally

Saturate your strongest sub-sector with founder-direct outreach across the entire deployed-shape universe. Eight to ten weeks of waves, prioritised by the strength of each company's fit signals.

07 What we run for you

Deal origination, run end-to-end, under your brand.

Tentt runs deal origination as a service for private equity, M&A advisors, investment banks, and lenders. We build the target list, write the outreach in your voice, and send cold-email campaigns from authenticated infrastructure in your firm's name. Completely whitelabeled. Recipients see your firm; replies route to your CRM; we never appear in the conversation.

The data is yours. The conversation is the next step.
