Looking for aspirational Owner Operators – We Fund the Deal. You Run It. You Own it.

If you've spent years running someone else's business and are ready to run your own — but don't want to navigate a bank loan alone — read this. Earned Equity is an investment firm based in Florida. We source, structure, and close acquisitions in the $0.5M–$2M EBITDA range, then partner with an operator to run the business post-close in an Operate-to-Own model. You become the owner of the business as you deliver results, while getting a market salary, and a real seat at the table — not a hired-gun CEO role. **What we bring:** - We bring the deal and the capital to fund it - We bring an industry expert who has been successful in the space to coach you - Back-office support - to let you focus on running the actual business - A long-term equity partnership - we're in it with you **What we're looking for:** - 5+ years of P&L ownership, operations, or GM experience - Genuine desire to *own* something, not just manage it - Willingness to put skin in the game (amount discussed on call — no minimum to start a conversation) - Long-term mindset — we are not flipping this in 2 years This is not a search fund. You're not employee #1 — you're a co-owner from day one. **We've also built three free tools at earned-equity.com to help you figure out if this path is right for you:** → DISC Operator Profile — see which business types match your operating style → Readiness Score — an honest 10-question diagnostic of where you stand → Business Type Fit Finder — maps your background to specific verticals If any of this resonates, apply on our website (https://earned-equity.com/owner-operators.html ), drop a comment or DM me directly. Happy to jump on a 20-minute call with anyone who is seriously exploring this. — Jorge Quiroga, Earned Equity earned-equity.com
