Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA Circle) June Happy Hour

On June 12th, our speaker will be Jeff Homer who acquired 40 companies in 48 months doing a self-funded search in the music school industry. He then sold a majority stake to a private equity company but stayed on as CEO. Ensemble has acquired over 65 companies with a run-rate of 2 acquisitions per month. His first company in the roll-up was making ~$100k in SDE and $500k revenue. Now the entire roll-up is ~$11m EBITDA with ~$65 million in revenue.

Check out Jeff Homer’s Acquiring Minds interview from May 20, 2024.
