Buy Then Build: How Acquisition Entrepreneurs Outsmart the Startup Game
Walker Deibel · ★★★★★ · 312 pages · 2018
Most products that we use on a daily basis were companies that were bought by others. McDonalds, Google Docs, Tesla, I’d argue the second time that Steve Jobs came back to Apple. None of these were the founders. They were the people who took a product market fit business and turned them into large scale businesses.
This book I’d argue is one of the best end to end books on how to be private equity/acquisition buyer of one. It goes through vetting different companies to but and how to actually execute the purchase the company. Highly recommend if you want to get into the private equity game as an individual.
