I realize this opportunity is significantly larger than the typical transaction discussed in this community, but I believe the right introductions can come from unexpected places.We are exploring a potential acquisition of a U.S.-based national HVAC and services platform generating approximately $175M of EBITDA.After discussions with the sell-side advisor, there may be an opportunity to participate if the right combination of strategic capital partners and an experienced operating team can be assembled.The current independent sponsor model is not the ideal structure for a transaction of this scale, so we are evaluating a collaborative club deal approach with aligned investors and operators who can help build long-term value. We are looking to connect with: • Capital partners interested in large platform acquisitions • Experienced operators who understand scaling multi-location service businesses • Strategic relationships that can help identify the right participants. Our team is already working through existing middle-market relationships, but one of the principles of successful deal-making is recognizing that the right partner often comes through unexpected channels. If you have experience with transactions of this size, or know someone who should be part of the conversation, we would welcome a confidential discussion. Best, Steven Cutsail
