Hi all! I am new to the community and just began a search for a business in the Bay Area. Contemplating businesses in the B2B services, manufacturing, and distribution businesses. Would love to connect with searchers who are also contemplating similar businesses or those who completed a search in the past 18 months who I can connect with and gain your wisdom!!! Thanks in advance! Background in operations management and management consulting.
