Noah Weiss

Actively Sourcing Deals
I'm looking for a ~$500M - $1.5M SDE business within 2-3 hours of metro Denver. I have a background as a strategy consultant where I focused on private equity commercial diligence and post-acquisition go-to-market strategy. My target business has a solid foundation with low turnover and recurring revenue but growth has stagnated. This business provides a physical service to the local Denver market, allowing me to leverage my own track record of community relationship-building and people management. I am exploring businesses across industries.
