Hello fellow searchfunders!

I’m currently creating a pitch deck and business plan to support my self-funded buy-and-build strategy. This is primarily aimed at potential debt funding partners and individual investors into the holding company.

While I have created several pitch decks and strategy documents for companies and startups, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts, insights, examples, or experiences in creating a deck to highlight the investment thesis alongside the process and nuances of a buy-and-build strategy.

Thanks in advance

Hey Edward I am going through this exact process right now. Based on my experience, it’s good to have but I wouldn’t spend a ton of time on it. The sentiment from investors is very much “let me know when you have a business under LOI”.

At the end of the day the pitch deck needs to sell your ability to find and operate a business. Investment thesis is important, but when talking to potential investors, it's the searcher they are most interested in evaluating.
