Independent Sponsor | Search Fund | Acquisition Strategy & Deal Execution
Building a successful self-funded search requires much more than identifying businesses to buy. It involves developing a disciplined acquisition strategy, sourcing proprietary opportunities, evaluating businesses, communicating with brokers and sellers, structuring offers, and preparing for investor and lender conversations. My background in investment banking, private equity investing, financial modeling, and due diligence provides a practical framework for evaluating acquisition opportunities and making disciplined investment decisions. I work with aspiring searchers, MBA students, and acquisition entrepreneurs who want guidance on topics such as: • Developing an acquisition thesis • Deal sourcing and broker outreach • Reviewing CIMs and evaluating opportunities • Financial modeling and valuation • LOIs and acquisition structuring • Investor outreach and capital preparation • Commercial and financial diligence • Management meeting preparation • Independent sponsor best practices Rather than relying solely on theory, I coach from the perspective of someone who executed a self-funded search today. We'll work through real acquisition opportunities, discuss practical decision-making, and build the skills needed to navigate each stage of the acquisition process with confidence.
