Hey all, I'm an aerospace engineer at Boeing in Seattle (VC-25B program), searching self-funded for my first acquisition and open to equity partners. Looking for established B2B businesses in the aerospace, defense, and space supply chain — precision manufacturing, technical services, specialty distribution, and testing/inspection. $500k–$1.4M purchase price, $250k+ SDE. 6–12 month timeline. Currently in diligence on one deal. Would love to connect with other PNW searchers, equity partners open to operator-led deals, or anyone who's closed in aerospace/defense/space. — Matt
