Hello

I’m embarking on the exciting journey of launching a search fund to acquire a business in Texas. As I refine my strategy and approach, I’d love to connect with experienced searchers, investors, and operators who can share insights on best practices, key challenges, and industry trends.

I’m particularly interested in:

Deal sourcing – effective outreach strategies and intermediaries to consider. Industry selection – promising sectors in Texas that align with search fund models. Due diligence – common pitfalls and key value drivers in evaluating acquisition targets. Financing – structuring a deal with investors and lenders. If you’ve been through the search process or have experience in Texas-based acquisitions, I’d greatly appreciate any advice or connections. Also, if you’re an investor interested in backing a Texas-focused search, I’d love to chat!
