Package Description:
Investors don’t just back a thesis — they back an operator. This package prepares you to demonstrate leadership readiness with a structured plan for your first 100 days as CEO.

Key components of this package can include, but aren’t limited to: • Conduct a self-assessment of leadership skills and gaps • Build your operator readiness narrative for investors • Draft a 100-day post-acquisition leadership plan • Learn frameworks for culture-building, execution, and team management

Self-funded Searcher turned SMB Owner
I have experience structuring a self-funded search, evaluating deals, conducting due diligence, working with sellers, and modeling post-transaction financials. I can help those who are considering this path, are mid-search, or are in the final innings of a deal. In 2022, as an MBA student at Yale School of Management, I took three courses on ETA and wrote two papers with A.J. Wasserstein, Pioneer in the world of Search and ETA. I fell in love with the model and determined that I needed to find a way to do this for my career. Following my MBA, I interned at a Traditional Search fund investor for the summer and learned a great deal about what investors look for in Searchers. Following a two-year stint in Management Consulting, I decided to pursue a self-funded search in my home state of Utah. After 6 months of full-time search, I found a small company at which I was hired with the intention to acquire the company (Acqui-hire) and which I will close by late Summer 2025.
