Hey Jed! Joined this group a while ago but didn't engage much. I recently saw your YT video detailing the BK. I can relate so have some practical questions: 1. I raised quite a bit of money before flaming out. Since I was able to commit capital as an independent sponsor could negotiate a ~35-45% equity slice. What are you seeing from institutional capital for those who aren't committing capital? 2. Related to #1, I found the team was critical if there was little/no skin in the game, are you finding that's increased/about the same?

Hello everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Manny I am from Satellite Beach Florida. I have a 25+ year background in information technology with 12 years in Managed IT Services. Although, I have a great job and enjoy the folks I work with my growth is capped and I am looking for the opportunity to take my experiences in both IT, Finances, and Real Estate and create something special for my family and community. I am looking for businesses in IT Manage Services, Accounting and Financial Services, Property Management, Medical Billing, Pest Control, Lawn and Landscaping Services and HVAC. Target company must be making at least $1M in revenue and $850K in SDE be located in Florida, Southeast, or can be operated fully remote. Feel free to reach out. I look forward to connecting.

Hey gang! So a bit of context - I got introduced to "search first" back when we were called "fundless sponsors" - and this was NOT a compliment. Used to be tough to get capital unless you went thru the brain damage of the registration process. These days - MUCH easier. Anyway, I raised a bit over $1.2Bn over the course of 2018-2023 all in healthcare. We closed $38M in our first portfolio in March of 2020 and were mostly BK by May! (covid shut down home healthcare in most states) We exited the platform in 2023. (ask me about how waterfalls suck) Now looking to get back in the game.
