Hiring General Manager / CEO to operate Acquisition Lab portfolio company
May 19, 2026
by an investor from Bates College in Boston, MA, USA
I'm hiring a GM to lead We Rent Copiers, which is the national leader in short-term copier and printer rentals. The 20-year old niche business was acquired by Tim Ericson (Acquisition Lab COO) in 2023 and is now an Acquisition Lab holding. I've been running it for the past year and a half, which has been a rewarding experience. Recently I've taken on more responsibilities for the Acquisition Lab, so I am seeking a full time focused leader for the business to start ASAP.
The pitch:
- You'd be running the whole business: ops, service, customers, P&L, team.
- Stable, cash-generative, steady-state handoff. Not a turnaround.
- No equity, but a base you can live on and a profit share so you have uncapped upside.
- Experience running a business. If you step back into a search later, being able to say "I actually ran a small business" changes how LPs, lenders, brokers, and sellers will see you.
- Opportunities to grow the business. Potential for a long term, rewarding career.
Location: Greater DC or Florida preferred, or open to relocation. Remote is on the table for an exceptional fit.
