Learning about GovCon opportunities

by an investor from Stanford University

Hello SearchFunder community,

I'm new to this space. I love the supportive dynamic and hope to learn from many of you. 
 
I'm close to exiting my first bootstrapped services business ($18.1M revenue, $5.2M EBITDA) and am looking to acquire something new with some of the windfall. This could be a single acquisition, a PE-backed roll-up, a HoldCo....I don't know. 

GovCon is a fascinating industry that is changing rapidly. I believe there is a big opportunity in services and want to meet like-minded folks who are interested in building a MasterMind of sorts.

I had a similar windfall from selling my bootstrapped GovTech services business in###-###-#### There's already a group of us former GovCon owners/CEOs coordinating on investments and buy-outs in Aerospace, Defense and Government Services. If anyone wants to get connected with this group email me at --@----.com and we can see if it makes sense.
