Does anyone have experience with either SMBootcamp or AcquisitionLab?
I'm considering both programs, but would love to speak/chat with someone who has actually attended one or the other. I'm just initiating my search. tx!

I attended SMBootcamp and it was very helpful. It was what gave me the confidence to finally quit my W2 job and go all in on searching full time. I bought a business a bit over a year later after going all in on the search and what I learned at SMBootcamp definitely helped speed up the learning curve to get there. I built a number of great connections through SMBootcamp that have been a great peer group through the search and even post acquisition. Happy to chat and share more feedback if you’d like.

My partner and I attended SMBootcamp and had a great experience. We were about 6 months into our search, which is the right amount of experience to go in with. Anything sooner and it's a firehose of information and you might get lost. We were able to ask deeper questions and get tangible feedbcak with that (even limited 6 months) of experience.
We found that the content was very useful and actionable, and the experts in the room were super open and honest with Q&A. We still reach out to some of the speakers for advice and deal team help.
It's also a great time. Super cool people, great food, fun events. Definitely recommend.
