There are many RIA roll-ups, which is probably your best place to start. I've never worked in the space directly, though I know someone on the exec team at Alpine Investors' roll-up, Aspen. Shore recently launched a platform as well. Happy to talk about that model with you to the extent that I know it.

There are other ways of creative financing that might give you a stake in those businesses. I'm even less familiar with those but I can share the concepts. For my money though, I don't think it works to invest in these unless you are doing a roll-up. The information asymmetry and sophistication of your counterparties create a big risk for a searcher without deep industry experience or an intention to build mutually beneficial shared services.
