I'm the founder of Lawrence Capital, an independent sponsor executing a multi-company HVAC and mechanical services roll-up across Texas and Hawaii. THE THESIS HVAC is one of the most fragmented service industries in the US. Thousands of profitable, owner-operated businesses with no succession plan and no path to an institutional exit. Lawrence Capital acquires, operates, and scales these businesses into a unified platform. The arbitrage between small business entry multiples (3x–4x SDE) and institutional exit multiples (6x–10x SDE) is where investor returns are generated. WHERE WE ARE Deal 1 is in active negotiation — Texas HVAC contractor, 18+ years, $342K forward SDE, 1.98x DSCR. Deal 2 and Deal 3 are simultaneously in diligence across Texas and Hawaii. Full investment memos built for all targets. WHAT WE'RE RAISING $1M to fund Deal 1 close and platform launch. Structured as: - $400K private debt (underwritten on business cash flow) - $600K preferred equity (40% HoldCo, 10% preferred return, no forced sale) INVESTOR LIQUIDITY — THREE OPTIONS 1. Operator buyout at Year 3+ at fair market formula 2. Platform sale — 40% of proceeds, majority consent required 3. Perpetual distributions — 40% of platform income indefinitely Platform cash flow self-funds all operations by end of Year 1. Full diligence package available under NDA. Looking for a private lender ($400K) and one equity co-investor ($600K) who want cash flow from Day 1 and platform upside over time. redacted
