Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

^redacted‌ That sounds cool! Did he acquire it or start it from scratch? I've never met anyone who's been able to acquire an IT support company before.

He started it. He's a serial entrepreneur and it's one of his projects. He has a strong background in IT, so it was something that was within his wheelhouse to start up. At one point it was his main focus, but he now has people in place that run it and I believe his involvement is minimal.

As for finding one to acquire... it might be just cold calling IT companies and seeing if the owner is interested in an exit. I wonder if many of those acquisitions end up being a strategic sale to an employee, so they might never make it to market.
