@GrantHensel Agree. As a self-funded searcher I plan going hybrid, injecting part of my down payment equity at close and pushing for larger reserves from the seller. Any tips you’ve seen work well?

@heydannypeavey Aspiring self-funded searcher here - not in the game yet, but already intrigued!

Always been one toe in the social realm, keeping to myself & building in quiet. Thinking about starting to share what i've been working on...

maybe, maybe not

Quick background: I scaled a medical distribution company to $40M+. Now I'm self-funded searching in home services. Built this system because I wanted to treat deal sourcing like a pipeline problem, not a networking problem.

Curious what the search community thinks @CodieSanchez @NickHuber @BrentBeshore

6 months ago I was cold-calling business owners from a spreadsheet.

Now I have an AI system that:

→ Identifies acquisition targets across 5 verticals
→ Scores them on margins, recurring revenue, owner dependency
→ Clusters them into priority geographic zones
→ Writes personalized outreach for each one

400+ companies in my pipeline.

Thinking about turning this into a service for other searchers — you give me your buy box, I deliver scored deal lists monthly.

Before I build anything:

How are you sourcing deals right now?
How many hours/week does it eat?
Would you pay for this?

DMs open.

@STLChrisH Since when is inheriting a family business and stewarding it to new heights and tremendous growth a bad thing?? Intellectual surrender to call Chris a nepo baby, even worse from somone in PE

Thoughts of the day:

- If you lack the skills, be willing to look foolish while you learn them.
- If you lack the connections, be courageous enough to reach out and build them.
- If you feel uncertain, be bold enough to figure it out along the way.
