Acquisition Lab invites you to their event

The Search Roundtable

About this event

Acquisition entrepreneurship is hard. It might be the hardest thing you'll do in your career. There's a lot of noise out there: courses promising easy wins, gurus selling shortcuts to the top of the mountain. The Search Roundtable is the opposite of that.

A free, biweekly conversation for anyone considering acquisition entrepreneurship, actively searching for a business to buy, or somewhere in between. Open to the public. No Lab membership required.

This is not a webinar. It's a small group, cameras on, talking through 2-3 topics per session. The Acquisition Lab team opens each topic with a point of view, then we hand it to the room. We want pushback, war stories, questions, and the things you'd never put in writing. Slots are limited. No recording is shared afterward. You have to be there and participate to get it.

A rotating sample of what we cover:

  • Buyer profile: who you are, not what you want to buy
  • Deal box: too tight kills it, too loose kills it
  • Getting financing lined up before you need it
  • How brokers and sellers see you
  • Building your personal board of advisors
  • Sourcing engine basics: brokers, marketplaces, proprietary
  • Working with brokers without being annoying
  • Proprietary outreach: the hardest path, not the first one
  • The first conversation with a seller
  • Reading a CIM like you've seen 100
  • Weekly cadence to LOI: treating search like a sales cycle
  • The mental game: where most people quit

Bring your questions about your search, the Lab ecosystem, anything you're working through. This is the room where searchers talk shop with other searchers.

Hosted by Acquisition Lab, the largest community of acquisition entrepreneurs in the world. 1,200+ members, 480+ closed deals, over $1B in enterprise value.

60 minutes. Live discussion to mimic an in-person conversation. Anti-hype.
