PE outreach to small plumbing/HVAC owners ('always a tree' capital firms)

Wilson notes constant inbound acquisition solicitations from capital firms ('pine grove capital or pick a name... always a tree') using legacy-preservation language, contrasting their low response rate with contractor-to-contractor outreach.

“I get contacted from someone every day from pine grove capital or pick a name and it's always a tree and they're always saying hey we respect the legacy we want to do whatever but like nobody cares right like we get these letters all the time.”
