Additionally, he is the Co-Founder of SMBootcamp, an esteemed education platform specializing in small-to-medium business (SMB) mergers and acquisitions.

We delve into topics such as seller carry strategies, the art of finding partners and sellers, and the complexities of turning a distressed asset into a thriving venture.
