Buy-Side Insights with Tom Carver of Harren Equity Partners #18
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you building a business to sell, or just building a job that will eventually trap you? Tom Carver, Founder and Managing Partner at Harren Equity Partners, reveals what private equity buyers are actually looking for when they write massive checks.
In this episode of Like A Champion, we dive into the middle-market M&A landscape. Tom explains why his firm looks at 1,300 deals just to close two, the massive IT underinvestment plaguing modern founders, and how simple operational improvements drive 80% of his fund's returns. He also breaks down the brutal realities of private equity life and shares his father's profound advice to "shave with the lights on."
Whether you're planning an exit in five months or five years, you cannot afford to miss this buyer's perspective. Watch the full episode to discover the hidden levers that will maximize your company's valuation before you ever go to market.
