Description
A strong investment thesis is the backbone of any successful ETA journey. This package helps you transform your goals and insights into a polished, investor-ready strategy. With expert coaching, you’ll identify the right industries, acquisition criteria, and rationale that set you apart from other searchers.

Key components of this package can include, but aren’t limited to: • Clarify your goals, background, and investor alignment to shape your unique perspective. • Evaluate industries and sub-sectors that fit your criteria and strengths. • Translate insights into a differentiated thesis that resonates with capital providers. • Refine your narrative for clarity and confidence when pitching.

Find & Evaluate Businesses | Ex-Merrill Lynch & Standard General | CFA
I help serious business buyers find suitable targets, evaluate opportunities and build a disciplined acquisition process. My background includes investment banking in Merrill Lynch’s Consumer and Leveraged Finance groups, institutional investing at Standard General and Claar Advisors, and public-company board service. Standard General’s acquisition and consolidation work in media and gaming gave me a perspective on evaluating businesses, capital structures and acquisition-led growth. I began my own acquisition search in 2015 and submitted letters of intent on three companies, giving me firsthand experience with the decisions and uncertainty searchers face. Today, I am a licensed investment banker affiliated with GT Securities, whose platform has supported more than $50 billion in aggregate transaction value. I am also a CFA charterholder, West Point graduate, Columbia MBA and founder of Victory Vision. My coaching turns your current acquisition challenge into practical work: clear buying criteria, a prioritized search pipeline, financial questions worth investigating and a plan for approaching owners, brokers or lenders. We can work hands-on in Victory Vision, the platform I founded, so you learn a process you can continue using yourself.
