Stop Dreaming And Start Structuring Your Successful Acquisition

Deal-making is HARD. The wrong structure can sink even the most promising opportunity. While there’s an entire toolbox of deal components available to entrepreneurs, how do you know which ones are right for your acquisition?

Join us for "Let's Make A Deal Structure," where we're bringing together experts to break down real-world deal structuring and answer your toughest questions. This isn’t theory—it’s practical insights to help you navigate acquisitions with confidence and close successfully.

Just like our SearcherBoost office hours—live deal reviews with expert feedback—but open to the community.

Got a deal under LOI or recently closed?

Submit it for live review. We’ll select 2-3 deals to break down, offering actionable advice and helping you avoid costly mistakes. Our team will anonymize details for a confidential discussion.

Come join us to level up your deal-making skills and find your winning combo.
