I’m Michael Sgandurra, and I’m actively looking to acquire businesses that I can grow, stabilize, and steward into the next chapter. Over the past decade I’ve built a career grounded in operations excellence, leadership, project management, and strategic execution, and I bring that same discipline and integrity to the way I approach acquisitions.
Before pursuing entrepreneurial and investment avenues, I spent 12+ years leading operations and continuous improvement initiatives at companies like Tesla and Cargill—roles where I was accountable for end-to-end manufacturing operations, safety (EH&S / OSHA), quality assurance, and team leadership across complex, high-stakes environments. I’ve learned how to rapidly diagnose operational inefficiencies, implement structured process improvements, and deliver measurable results. At Tesla, I began the Machine Learning Vision department which now has over 200 automated vision inspections across Gigafactory Nevada.
Beyond corporate operations, I have a wide swath of experience in Real Estate. I personally invested in and successfully executed real estate rehabilitation projects of Buy and Hold properties as well as Flips. Additionally, I founded and manage the fastest growing Short Term Rental cohosting management company in the Reno/Tahoe market.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
✔ Established small to mid-sized businesses that are ready for a thoughtful ownership transition
✔ Companies with solid track records, recurring revenue, and potential for operational or strategic growth
✔ Businesses where my operational leadership and continuous improvement experience can unlock value
I’m particularly interested in businesses that:
• Have predictable cash flow and strong fundamentals
• Are owner-operated now but would benefit from structured operational systems
• Could benefit from growth planning, process optimization, or scaling discipline
What sets me apart is not just financial capability, but also hands-on operational experience, a data-driven approach to improvement, and a genuine commitment to building on what the founders have created. I want to honor your legacy while positioning the business for continued success.
If you’ve been thinking about your next step and what the future of your business looks like, I’d love the opportunity to talk and see if there’s a fit.
Warm regards,
Michael Sgandurra
