The Operations Ninja's Playbook for Searchers and Operators with Ryan Williams, COO and Co-Founder of DivvyShares

The Charlotte ETA Group is fired up to welcome @redacted‌, COO and Co-Founder at DivvyShares, for: "The Operations Ninja's Playbook for Searchers and Operators" Most searchers obsess over the deal. The LOI. The QofE. The close. Then day one hits and the real work begins. Ryan Williams has spent 25+ years in the operator's seat. He built a multi-million dollar construction company from the ground up, managed a $500M real estate portfolio, and now as COO and Co-Founder of DivvyShares, he is building a holding company that buys small businesses from retiring owners and transitions them to employee ownership over time. In other words, he has lived every side of this. Founder. Operator. Buyer. Builder of a portfolio. In this session, Ryan will share the hard-won operating playbook he has developed across decades and multiple companies. What actually moves the needle in your first 90 days. How to read a team you just inherited. What to change immediately and what to leave alone. How small operating habits compound into real returns over years. He will also share what he has learned building DivvyShares as a programmatic acquirer. You will leave with a clearer view of what separates searchers who buy a job from operators who build real value. 📆 The Charlotte ETA Meetup is held on the first Wednesday of every month. This is suited for those new to Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition or seasoned investors. We discuss people's past experiences in acquisitions, startups, and the corporate world across various industries. 💪 Collectively, the search community is a powerful one. Both the process of looking for a business and operating one post-acquisition can be an incredibly challenging road. 🤝 Networking, then a discussion with Ryan, followed by more networking. Small Business. Acquisitions. And Entrepreneurship.
