Students say the bootcamp was worth their time

“This bootcamp opened my eyes to the importance of storytelling, providing a human touch, and learning how to connect with sellers”

“The thing that resonated with me most was how important it was to have an industry thesis. Up to that point in my search, I had been industry agnostic and was analyzing deals in industries I knew little to nothing about. I came to appreciate just how important it was to have domain expertise. ”

“I was a huge fan of how hands-on the bootcamp was. We had plenty of case studies to work through, we had the opportunity to talk about our deals on Friday, and there was always the opportunity to get on Ron's calendar. If you are an operator, with no finance experience, this is doable.”

“I had plenty of operations experience, but no finance or accounting background. Luckily, Ron was patient with me, and took the time to explain accounting and ETA economics to me. By the end of the bootcamp, I had developed a tight strike zone and a pretty good handle on what to look for.”

Who the Bootcamp Is For

This bootcamp isn’t for casual browsers or shortcut seekers.

You belong here if you:

  • Are committed to buying a profitable, durable business
  • Are ready to lead teams, customers, outcomes
  • Want the right deal, not just any deal
  • Know the real cost of failure: dead deal costs, wasted time, regret
  • You crave honest, actionable feedback
  • You thrive on structure and accountability

This is not for you if:

  • You can’t dedicate 6–8 hours each week
  • You’re looking for shortcuts, like solely relying on broker deals, blasting generic LOIs, or skipping the prep work
  • You’re not willing to pick up the phone and talk to sellers
  • You’re expecting a business to fall into your lap without doing the work
  • You’re expecting a magic bullet that does not exist
  • You’re not ready for real responsibility or accountability

How We Help You Win

  • I won’t find a business
    How We Help Outcome
    Weeks 4–5 dive into sourcing and research with a focus on proprietary outreach, warm intros, and using AI tools for structured research. Find the right business, not just the last deal on BizBuySell. Build a repeatable system so you aren’t stuck with brokered lists.
  • I’ll waste years talking to tire kickers and fake sellers
    How We Help Outcome
    Seller qualification tools, motivation checklists, and the Three Buckets framework. Spend time with real sellers who are ready, not fantasies.
  • I’ll find a business, but it won’t be the right fit
    How We Help Outcome
    We lead with personal fit. You get frameworks to align opportunities with your strengths. Avoid wasting years chasing the wrong business because we screen for fit first.
  • I’m not a finance person. How will I analyze deals?
    How We Help Outcome
    We start the bootcamp with a plain English accounting and finance primer, then build on those concepts over 13 weeks. You’ll get Excel modeling walkthroughs and case studies to build the skill. Get confident asking the right questions. Partner with seasoned providers to diligence a deal.
  • I have never done a deal before
    How We Help Outcome
    Weeks 6–11 cover building seller trust, valuation, LOI structure, and how to partner with service providers and investors to diligence the opportunity. Know how to submit offers, negotiate, structure capital, and analyze risk across concentration, dependency, operations, industry, and seasonality.
  • I’ll miss something important in diligence
    How We Help Outcome
    Comprehensive checklists and models help you stress test assumptions and underwrite downside. You also get access to our ETA GPT as a deal helper. Leave with checklists, frameworks, reps, a vetted provider list, and an interview plan to choose the right partners.
  • I don’t want to overpay
    How We Help Outcome
    We anchor on free cash flow, not EBITDA. You use detailed models, red flag filters, valuation tools, and a pricing framework. Avoid overpaying by anchoring on real cash flow and risk-adjusted value, not seller stories or broker fluff.
  • I have never raised capital before
    How We Help Outcome
    We show you how to raise the right way. It starts with a coherent thesis that fits your background. Set up a capital structure built to last.
  • The business will fall apart after I buy it
    How We Help Outcome
    The last three weeks focus on post close playbooks, board setup, contingency plans, and working capital buffers. Step in as a confident CEO with systems, capital, and coaching, not chaos and surprises.
