Boulay is proud to sponsor Search Party Video-Podcast, a new podcast series focused on elevating knowledge of the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) strategy.
Search Party features a rotating roster of expert guests who dive into the unique opportunities, market conditions, and best practices within the ETA ecosystem. We’re excited to join in on the conversation, with several members of Boulay’s Search Fund Team recently featured as guests.
In the seventh episode, “The Walk-On Linebacker Who Grew His Business 24x,” host David Snow sits down with entrepreneur-through-acquisition Markus Scott, who acquired security-camera service EyeQ Monitoring nine years ago.
Together, they explore Markus’s journey to profitable growth. After discovering the ETA model, Markus enrolled at Kellogg and raised over $300,000 for a two-year search. After a “devastating” month-fourteen deal collapse, Markus eventually found a very small business in a strong industry. His investors encouraged him to structure the deal like a growth equity investment.
While Markus’s story is one of ETA success, it began with the threat of failure. In the end, the deep relationships he built with his team not only strengthened company culture but also enhanced customer satisfaction, fueling the company’s long-term growth.
