I’ve been quiet here because I launched a searchfund and I’m close to acquiring a small business. I want to incorporate crypto/web3-native tooling into the business where I can. What products should I be looking at?

"Buy then Build" got me hooked on the concept of acquisition entrepreneurship. Its worth checking out. https://www.amazon.com/Buy-Then-Build-Acquisition-Entrepreneurs-ebook/dp/B07JKM2F5Q

Some of the most well known founders (I.e., Elon Musk) have taken a “buy then build” strategy. It's one I think we’ll see even more of thanks to LLMs.

Biz acquisition (and mgmt) is time consuming, but done well there's lots of upside. I've often wondered if other people exist who, like me, on nights & weekends: - develop investment theses - source & diligence deals There should be a better way to collaborate and draft off each other’s work.

Businesses I’ve looked at buying (and passed on so far): - pest control - car wash - gas station - adult daycare - laundry mat - HVAC - rehab centers - dry cleaning Why? - 1. SMB buying got overheated during ZIRP, 2. I didn't want to buy myself a job
