Acquisition entrepreneur looking to acquire more manufacturing firms

Hi Everyone, I am looking to raise capital to acquire manufacturing companies in the $1M+ EBITDA range, in specific recession resistant niches. While I also have capital of my own, the SBA's geographic limitations for operations restrict my search when a lot of the deals I see are in the Midwest. Putting this out there as a "feeler" post to see if there is sufficient investor interest to move forward. My professional background: Engineer, worked 10 years in tech, held software engineering/security leadership roles in SF high-scale startups, large F500 companies, and a minor startup exit before all this. I also acquired a CA-based manufacturing company 2 years ago(self-funded, SBA) and have been successfully running it with my management team while modernizing the company and growing. Along with me, you also get my management team who also have similar or more experience(supply chain, operations, manufacturing). Happy to chat about my investment thesis(for current acq as well as the future ones), my background, or anything else. Always good to build a network!
