Private Origination

Mandate-specific access to private commercial opportunities.

Siro is a private origination firm for M&A, finance, ESG, and select energy, infrastructure, and industrial markets. We source the counterparties a mandate requires: founders and owner-operators, acquisition teams, capital partners, feedstock suppliers, and offtakers, before those opportunities are broadly marketed.

01 — The Firm

Boutique by design. Formidable in reach.

Advanced GTM & origination capability.

Modern data, mapping, and engagement infrastructure built to open senior decision-makers with the precision of a warm referral.

A high-touch, success-oriented team.

A deliberately small book of mandates each quarter, senior attention on every thesis and every introduction, and fees aligned to outcomes.

Strategic execution.

Work begins from a defined thesis and ends at a commercial outcome. If we don't believe a mandate can convert, we say so before it begins.

02 — Practice

Three mandates. One discipline.

Market Access

For specialist firms selling into markets where the decision-makers are senior, guarded, and rarely reached cold. We map who actually holds the pen, earn the first conversation, and turn an unfamiliar market into a working set of relationships.

Private Origination

For private equity firms, M&A advisors, family offices, and acquisition teams. Proprietary conversations with founder-led, privately held businesses inside a defined target box, delivered as dossier-backed owner introductions rather than marketed processes.

Commercial Development

For operators and developers across the energy value chain, from waste-based feedstock companies to fuel producers and infrastructure projects. We originate the commercial relationships that move the business: collection and supply agreements, offtake counterparties, strategic partners, and investor readiness on the path to final investment decision. Projects rarely stall on technology; they stall on the commercial pieces.

03 — Process

From thesis to transaction.

01 · Thesis

The mandate, solidified.

Every mandate begins by solidifying the thesis: the target box, the counterparty group, the qualification bar, and what a successful outcome looks like, defined in writing before any work begins.

02 · Mapping

The universe, mapped.

Mandate and universe mapping across the defined market: who matters, who decides, and the credible paths to each, scored so effort concentrates where quality lives.

03 · Engagement

The conversations, opened.

Direct, discreet engagement with the mapped counterparties. Each conversation is handled with care from first contact through reply.

04 · Assessment

The quality, graded.

Every engaged counterparty is assessed against the mandate: context gathered, fit mapped, and quality graded before anything reaches your desk.

05 · Transition

The introduction — and the loop.

Introductions arrive warm and dossier-backed. Every outcome feeds back into the mandate, compounding the map, sharpening the thesis, and revealing where the next opportunity sits.

04 — Fit

Selective by design.

The firm suits teams pursuing consequential commercial relationships, and it is honest about who it doesn't.

Strong fit

  • Firms with traction or product-market fit that lack institutional network depth
  • Teams with a defined thesis or target box, and a named owner for the conversations we open
  • Organizations able to move on a focused 30–90 day process
  • Firms comfortable aligning fees to outcomes: fewer, better relationships over volume

Not a fit

  • Teams seeking broad, spray-and-pray outreach or a list vendor
  • Mandates missing a clear commercial path or defined counterparty group
  • Organizations expecting guaranteed outcomes without commercial diligence
  • Teams unwilling to run a structured, focused process
Siro takes a limited number of mandates per quarter so senior attention stays on execution.

Discuss a mandate.

A first conversation is thirty minutes: your thesis, our read on whether we can source against it, and an honest no if we can't.
