Somewhere 'along the way', I started my search fund investigation, then turned to a self-funded search. Now, I’ve sourced multiple deals, so I’m not entirely sure whether I’ve created a self-funded search fund, an intermediary service, or a holding company. TBD.
None of these projects are under LOI yet, but they are very warm—or, as we say in artillery, target in the open. These are essentially off-market deals, all targeting the GovCon space: All 3 companies can be run REMOTE, the are not location dependent.

Regardless of politics, proper disposal will always be necessary: Project HazMat

Each deal involves a government set-aside. With the right SDVOSB owner-operator (1st option would be me), creative deal structuring ensures these set-asides remain intact.
These aren’t “turn and burn” opportunities—they align with GARP principles and have a long track record of success with solid, proven returns. (All three have at least 15 years)

P.S. This post contains a song title and a famous movie reference—let’s see who catches them. P.S.S. Veteran set asides are not related to D.E.I.
