Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Tech migration support

Hi all, I’m in the final stages of acquiring a small e-commerce business and need help finding experienced technical support for the migration process. I’m looking to close here quickly. What I Need: • Python developer with FastAPI/Shopify API experience • Someone who’s handled similar SaaS/e-commerce migrations • Ideally available for 2-3 months (migration + stabilization) • Could be contractor, part-time My Questions: 1. Has anyone here managed a similar tech migration during an acquisition? 2. Know any reliable Python developers who specialize in e-commerce/Shopify? 3. What gotchas should I watch for in the handoff process? 4. Any recommendations for maintaining business continuity during the transition? The current owner has been cooperative with documentation, but I want to ensure I have the right technical expertise in place before taking over operations. Would appreciate any insights, referrals, or lessons learned from your own experiences! The Tech Stack: • Python/FastAPI backend with Celery workers • PostgreSQL database • Shopify integration (multiple stores) • API integrations • Some deprecated components needing updates
