Rollups HoldCos

by a searcher from Harvard University - Harvard Business School

Anyone have experience raising a traditional search fund to do a roll-up and/or holdco? Would love to get thoughts on 1) type of investors you have on your cap table and 2) what you conveyed in your PPM (i.e., level of detail?)

My firm and I have invested in smaller roll-ups and employ a similar strategy on our direct investments. It is difficult to raise outside capital for these strategies unless you have experience doing it. Roll-ups are extremely hard to pull off and to pull off successfully you generally want to be able to acquire the largest available player in the niche/ space/ geography. If you do want to go this route I would suggest finding a very unique niche that lacks PE money and try to consolidate quickly.
