Host @behindtheacq — Helping Investors & founders Master the "Art of Business Acquisitions"

[Adithya MS @Adithya__ms]

The podcast isn’t even a year old — and I just got my first acquisition offer.

Today, a well-known investor I’ve been following for a while reached out on LinkedIn with an offer to acquire Behind The Acquisition.

@PaddyG96 Any feedback on my podcast channel https://t.co/TGA12iugMH

[Adithya MS @Adithya__ms]

@agazdecki Thanks for coming on, Andrew — this was packed with insights. Excited for people to watch this.

[Adithya MS @Adithya__ms]

Most buyers assume sellers are desperate. After 2,000+ exits, @agazdecki says that's wrong — and it's costing buyers deals.

In today's episode of Behind the Acquisition, we break down what Andrew has learned about how sellers actually think — and how buyers can use that to move faster, negotiate smarter, and close more deals.

The only reason you pivot is if the fundamental underlying assumption that you came into the business is proven untrue.

Why not $1m/month by 2030?

Quick Question for Acquisition Holdco's
When it comes to your dealflow, what holds you back more today:

1) not seeing enough deals, or
2) not being known and building the right founder relationships early on?

I asked @mushfiqsarker1 why he buys the businesses everyone else avoids.

His answer: Most investors don't know the difference between broken and inefficiently run.

The plan works until the data proves it doesn’t.

Hiring: LinkedIn & X Content Lead

I’m looking for someone to own the distribution of my podcast on LinkedIn and X.

Your role:
Take long-form podcast conversations around acquisitions, investing, and dealmaking and turn them into high-signal content that builds influence, access, and conversations.

What success looks like (12 months):
• 2+ posts per day on LinkedIn & X
• Posts consistently start conversations with founders, investors, and operators

You’re a good fit if you:
• Have a real track-record of growing content, conversations on Linkedin & X.
• Understand LinkedIn and X deeply (and differently)
• Can explain why a post works before publishing it
• Know how to write hooks that stop scrolling
• Have strong taste and know what not to post
• Can mirror someone else’s thinking and beliefs accurately
• Prefer clarity and mastery over generic virality
• Take ownership without needing hand-holding

Not a good fit if you:
• Have no track-record
• Have no experience in growing content on Linkedin & X
• Focus only on impressions and likes without caring about audience quality
• "Post daily and hope"

If this sounds like you, comment “CONTENT” and I’ll reach out with next steps.

I asked Tim Schumacher (25 saas acquisitions) why he walks away from profitable SaaS businesses doing millions in ARR.

His answer: "Profit isn't enough to sell your SaaS."
He breaks down exactly what actually matters to buyers.

Harsh truth:
​Networking is simply a game of choosing the right rooms.
​
Here’s how serious investors actually think about events:
​
Want to know Alexis Morgan’s "secret" to building real investor relationships early? (She raised $45M+ by 22)
​
According to her, it’s simple:
​
“You pay to get into rooms where people value their time”
​
Most people go to free events looking for investors.
Investors, meanwhile, are paying to avoid elevator pitches.
​
If you think about it – what’s important to wealthy people?
It’s not more money.
It’s TIME.
​
They’ll happily spend capital to shortcut:
• Time wasters
• Low-intent conversations
• People who are “just exploring”
​
For them, the event ticket price is the filter.
​
At free events, people pay with their time —
and time is the most abundant resource in that room.
​
They don’t have the money to filter for quality.
So the room stays noisy.
​
In paid rooms, the opposite happens.
​
• People arrive with intent.
• There’s less selling in the room.
• Nobody needs to prove they’re serious — it’s already assumed.
​
This is why trying to raise capital at free events rarely works.
​
Not because your pitch is bad —
But because the room is filled with broke people pitching broke people.
​
Tldr;
You’re not bad at networking, you’re just in the wrong rooms.
​
I used to think better networking meant better pitches.
Now I think it means choosing rooms
where the right conversations are even possible.
​
Free events optimize for access.
Paid rooms optimize for alignment.
​
That difference explains why some people keep “meeting investors” and never move closer to raising capital.

​
P.S.. This idea comes from my full conversation with Alexis Morgan on
my Behind The Acquisition Pod.
​
We go much deeper into how she thinks about finding the rooms, building relationships, follow up the right way etc .

My fear is not failure — it’s becoming a “permanently almost-there person”

I think that’s the fear most smart people have. But they haven’t realised it, yet.
