[🚨Partnership Opportunity 🚨] One fascinating takeaway from working with hundreds of SMB buyers and searchers: raising that FIRST equity check often creates more anxiety than an SBA personal guarantee! Ironically, over the past five years, I’ve seen SO MANY high-net-worth folks with no connection to the SMB community become interested in investing in searchers buying Main Street SMBs. My @SMBootcamp_ investor list was created to help solve this problem, but it’s FAR from a perfect solution. So I recently started working with @taywall and @LargeHadronClay on a stealth project to build a tool that efficiently connects SMB buyers with capital (primarily equity, but debt is a natural fit too). 

The 3 of us are stupid busy, and need some help taking our project to the next level. So if you are a searcher, or just interested in SMB, and have 20+ hours per week to spare, I would love to chat with you about joining us as a co-founder. What you will be working on: 

-Leading a product team (building in Bubble dot io) -Prepping a go-to-market strategy for when we launch this thing -Helping market to and curate the first few investors and searchers -Becoming an absolute expert in any related products so we’re building something best in class   Ideally, you will have: 
-Supported building software or been a software product owner -Understand how an M&A deal works. You don’t need to be an expert, but if you’ve done any financial underwriting or can work your way around excel, that helps -Have done some marketing, ideally to investors, and understand how to speak to high net worth folks about investment opportunities   What you will get: -Founder Equity -Cash comp leading to FT employment -Working with some of the best folks in the SMB / ETA ecosystem -A ride in my boat and a round of golf (our group enjoys outdoor “work” 😎)
