Follow-Up: To Thesis or not to Thesis: The Difference Between a Searcher and a Managing Partner

Following the engagement and specific inquiries on my recent article "To Thesis or Not to Thesis: The Difference Between a Searcher and a Managing Partner," I’m opening selection for a 30‑Day Thesis Intensive. This is not a course. It is a hands‑on intensive to develop your investment thesis and move you from ‘searching’ to executing a mandate as a Managing Partner. Over 30 days, we work together inside Acorn’s operating system "The Factory" to develop a defendable thesis you are ready to execute. By the end of the Intensive, you will have: * The Target Aperture: a defined search lane (sector, size, geography) based on your specific experience and real market inefficiencies, not generic broker feeds. * The Investment Mandate: a written, investor‑ready thesis you can use to engage capital providers and get them warm to back your mandate. * The Targets: a short list of target businesses to engage. Economics: There is a commitment fee. But, Acorn is not selling an expensive course with prohibitive upfront costs. If you’re interested, DM me for the link to the Managing Partner DNA Audit. That’s the first step to confirm fit and to help us personalize the Intensive. The goal is to stop solving the puzzle in the dark and start turning on the lights.
