The fundraising maze.

The seller’s deal fatigue. Nobody warns you about this part. When I became a searcher, I knew it would be hard. I just didn’t realize how hard. And honestly? I can’t even imagine what it must feel like to run the company itself. The good news is: I never quit. The seller is understandably nervous now. He’s exploring other options, which makes me nervous too. But we already have 75% of the acquisition capital committed. This process is brutal. You chase investors while slowly losing your pride, because at some point, this stops being about storytelling and starts becoming simple survival: Close the deal. I also hate newsletters and LinkedIn posts that always end up trying to sell you something. So let me try something different. If you introduce me to an investor willing to participate in the deal, I’ll pay you the same percentage a professional fundraising firm would typically charge. Simple as that. So… are you in? Or are you just going to keep letting people sell you courses, communities, and “ETA secrets”? Happy to connect. We’re aiming to close within a month. SPA, SHA, DD — everything is moving forward. And at the center of it all, there’s a fantastic company ready to grow with a new operator hungry to build. The deal is in the comments Thanks!
