Choose from one of the three ways
to get support and learn more about
how Entrepreneurship through
Acquisition might work for you!
I've pulled together a selection of articles, podcast episodes, and resources to help you learn more about Entrepreneurship through Acquisition. I recommend starting here to get a foundational understanding of how EtA can work for you!
If you still have questions, you can book 15-minutes with me to share more about what you're working on and ask a few questions.
** If we've already had an intro and you'd like to chat again, please book a 25 or 55 minute EtA Consultation session so we can get stuck in a bit deeper.
You're ready to dive deep into the world of Entrepreneurship through Acquisition!
In these 25 or 55-minute consultations, you can ask questions and we can brainstorm strategies for your journey ahead, upcoming prospective acquisitions, getting deals closed, challenges and opportunities as an owner/operator, and more.
In 2012, after a 15 year career spanning engineering, project management, investment banking and general management, I realised that the large corporate path wasn't for me - I needed more autonomy and accountability than big business could ever provide.
I co-founded Alpin Group with lain Morris to acquire, operate and grow small businesses in Australia.This was a big leap of faith that felt crazy at the time, but proved to be the best business decision of my career!
I acted as CEO for three of the businesses, for periods ranging from 6 months to three years, after which I successfully managed my own succession and remained on the Boards of each as a Non-Executive Director.
We acquired our first business in June 2013 and over the next 4 years acquired four more. By 2020, we had successfully exited two of these businesses and sold partial stakes in the other three.
This owner/operator experience gave me that mix of autonomy and accountability I was seeking. It also opened my eyes to the world of small business and the global EtA community.
I'm now leveraging my own EtA experience to back other aspiring entrepreneurs and play my part in supporting the critical global transition from baby-boomer owner/founders to the next generation of business owners.
This is where I store my content and
make it available for you to explore,
so you can search for topics that hit
the spot for you.
