We're working hard to grow the Searchfunder community in Minnesota. Please take a moment to introduce yourself below. Some questions to consider answering: Where are you based? What is your background? What's your buy box? Have you acquired yet? Where do you need the most help right now? Where can you provide help to others? Anything else on your mind? We'll be able to have much deeper discussions if you can provide as much detail as possible. A paragraph or two is perfect. Be sure to tag (@) when replying to comments to make sure your sub-comments are read.

Hello Minnesota - I'll start: Based in Edina and Green Horizons Lawn Care in Burnsville. We closed last week (late May###-###-#### My background is consumer products, coming from General Mills, Jack Link's, and a PE-backed business. My partner comes from PE and we searched for about 16 months. We closed on this business with backing from 3 Family Offices and a small SPV of local investors. /This is a residential, full-service lawn care company. We have a buy/build strategy and looking for smaller tuck-ins and strategic adds in irrigation and fertilization. I'd like to meet people locally to help where I can and build a base of folks to learn from each other.

@redacted‌ congratulations on your transaction! Based in Stillwater. Still searching, veteran of multiple startups with good exits (one IPO) as well as PE operator. Searching for solid businesses, mostly B2B. Sweet spot is $1.5M EBITDA but exploring options +/- $1M of that.
