Hi all — I’m running another Accelerator on Thursday 26 February (6 days from now).
Cohort is typically a mix of PE professionals, ex-consultants, and first-time acquirors looking to close and then build a repeatable acquisition engine.
Presenters / sessions:
Former exited traditional search fund → serial acquiror + HoldCo builder (also a search investor)
Search corporate finance partner: financial modelling + diligence workflow (how to underwrite & validate quickly)
Panel: serial acquirers + independent sponsors on sourcing and getting deals done
SME debt advisor: raised £100s of millions in SME debt finance last year (capital options + structure)
Sell-side advisor: seller mindset/expectations + why deals die (and how to avoid it)
