That’s an awesome path. About half of my practice is working with searchers/acquisition entrepreneurs to close their deals

5 years ago it was almost exclusivity top MBAs but now it’s a mix of all kinds. A lot of people run traditional search funds (backed by 10-12 investors including a few traditional institutional investors like Pacific Lake, Relay, etc.) but there is a growing trend of people doing self funded searches (typically using an SBA 7a loan). Happy to chat further and recommend some resources.

How do you plan to save that much?

You only need like maybe 200k down to buy a $1M EV business. Structure on terms like seller financing, debt, and maybe a little outside investment. People wanting to retire will sell their business doing 500kish in cashflow for $1M.
