Description
A strong investment thesis is the backbone of any successful ETA journey. This package helps you transform your goals and insights into a polished, investor-ready strategy. With expert coaching, you’ll identify the right industries, acquisition criteria, and rationale that set you apart from other searchers. By the end, you’ll be confident in articulating your thesis to investors and using it as your north star throughout the acquisition process. Key components of this package can include, but aren’t limited to: • Clarify your goals, background, and investor alignment to shape your unique perspective. • Evaluate industries and sub-sectors that fit your criteria and strengths. • Translate insights into a differentiated thesis that resonates with capital providers. • Refine your narrative for clarity and confidence when pitching.

Ex-Goldman VP & Independent Sponsor | Master ETA Strategies for Success
I don't just teach acquisition enterpreneurship — I'm doing it right now. I'm an independent sponsor actively sourcing, evaluating, and closing acquisitions of healthcare and essential-services businesses, and I built the toolkit for it over years as an M&A banker at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and a Vice President in Healthcare Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs, where I advised on deals from $200M to $11B+. That means I can help you with the parts of the journey that actually make or break an ETA practitioner: building an LBO and returns model that holds up under scrutiny, structuring the deal and the financing, running diligence, negotiating the LOI, and thinking clearly about valuation and risk. Whether you're pursuing a self-funded search, a traditional search, or an independent-sponsor model, I'll help you move from thesis to closed deal with institutional-grade rigor and I would be honest with you about which targets are worth chasing and which aren't. More importantly, I bring the perspective of someone signing the documents on his own deals, not advising from the sidelines.
