Behind The Acquisition
Behind The Acquisition
Podcast Description
I'm Adithya MS, a 25-year-old on a journey to build a holding company.
Since 2022, I’ve been involved in 9 acquisition deals worth $2.5M, helping investors buy businesses and founders successfully exit
Along the way, I noticed most of what's out there doesn't tell the whole truth . I'm here to learn from people who've actually been through it all, so I can avoid common mistakes -- and help you do the same.
Join me as I dive into conversations with FOUNDERS who've exited, INVESTORS making big moves, and EXPERTS who know the acquisition game inside out.
