by a searcher from Carnegie Mellon University - Tepper School of Business in Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Running a self-funded search in Pittsburgh focused on acquiring and operating a B2B services or manufacturing/distribution business. I have a background in finance, operations, and M&A, including time at a private equity firm and hands-on experience acquiring and integrating an SMB with 14 Employees. I have been actively searching for over a year with a live proprietary pipeline. Seeking interns looking for real exposure to the acquisition process. Most work is async. Meeting requirement is 1 hour per week. What you will work on: - Thesis development and industry research - Company screening and financial assessment - Target list building using databases and public sources - Drafting and refining direct outreach letters to business owners Best fit for someone who is curious about owning and operating a business someday. Please reach out and we can go from there.

Hi John, I saw your post and applied immediately! I am a first-year MBA student at Tepper and genuinely interested in search funds and business acquisition. I am currently taking Entrepreneurial Alternatives course with Professor Len Caric, which has pushed me further in that direction. Prior to the MBA, I co-founded and ran a company in Indonesia, so I have some sense of what operating actually looks like. I would love to learn from your experience! Warmest regard, Jesica

Dear Mr. Boyle, I’ve submitted my application and wanted to express my sincere interest in the opportunity. I’m very excited by the chance to gain hands-on experience and exposure through Douglass Boyle Capital. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, Cole Roberts
