On the pre-fund stage, do you think it is recomendable to approach owners?

We are starting our search mid january, but are already looking for companies and we have been able to talk to some owners that showed interest. We are afraid to get to a point where not having the fund established might make us lose credibility in the process. Should we slow down?

start talking now. The process can take a lot longer than you realize.

The deal will realistically take up to 6 months to close anyway. There is no reason to delay conversations IMO.
