Buy, Scale, Merge & Exit Wealthy Summit

M&A w text v2

Why Are You Coming?

Do you want to buy your first business, or add another company on top of what you already own? Do you want to merge, scale, and position your companies for an exit at 4 million in EBITDA and sell for 32 to 36 million? Or push to 10 million and exit for 125 million? Do you want to become an M&A dealmaker who can structure acquisitions, partnerships, and rollups without using your own money? Or do you want to use the money of JT Foxx, bring him the companies he wants, partner with him, and exit wealthy together?

Everything you need to do that is happening at the Buy Scale Merge and Exit Summit. The room will include real M&A operators, real dealmakers, and people who have scaled companies for real money. Whether you are brand new or already running a serious operation, this is where real deals happen and where you learn exactly how to buy, scale, merge, and exit at the highest level.

What You Will Learn

  1. How to Buy Businesses the Smart Way

    You will learn how to buy your first business, how to buy your next business, and how to buy multiple businesses in a sequence. You will learn how to grow through acquisition even if you already own a company. You will learn how to source real opportunities, how to evaluate them, how to negotiate them, and how to structure the purchase without using your own money. You will understand the difference between buying an asset, buying a business, and buying a platform for a larger roll up.

  2. How to Scale Businesses With Precision

    You will learn the exact strategies to scale any company you buy or already own. You will understand how to integrate a newly acquired business into your current structure. You will learn the systems that increase revenue, profitability, and operational strength. You will learn how to scale as a buyer, how to scale as an M and A dealmaker, and how to scale inside your own roll up. You will understand pricing power, margin expansion, operational cleanup, leadership changes, hiring upgrades, and everything that moves a company from average performance to elite performance.

  3. How to Merge and Build a Portfolio That Attracts Real Buyers

    You will learn the art of mergers and acquisitions, the integration, the sequencing, and the strategy behind putting multiple companies together. You will learn how to align teams, systems, cultures, and leadership so that the combined company becomes more valuable than each individual business. You will learn how to raise profitability, how to eliminate duplication, how to create efficiency, and how to turn a small group of businesses into a professional, acquisition ready group.

  4. How to Build EBITDA That Creates Wealth

    You will learn exactly how companies go from one million EBITDA to four million EBITDA to ten million EBITDA. You will learn what private equity buyers want, what institutional buyers look for, and how valuation is calculated. You will learn the profitability levers that move valuation from small money to real money. You will learn why most entrepreneurs never grow past a few million and exactly what to do to change that.

  5. How to Exit Wealthy

    You will learn the full playbook of exiting for real money. You will learn how, when, and why to exit. You will learn how private equity works, how they think, and how they decide what to buy. You will learn the steps, the timing, the structure, the documents, the negotiations, and the expectations of a serious exit. You will learn how to position your company for a 32 to 36 million exit or a 125 million exit depending on your EBITDA target. You will understand why the exit is where the real wealth is created and how to prepare for it from the very beginning

The Billionaire Dealmaker Who Plays the Game at a Level You’ve Never Seen

Mystery Billionaire

He is one of the most influential and least visible figures in modern private equity. A billionaire who built his empire through hundreds of quiet acquisitions, he moves markets without ever appearing in the headlines. CEOs who have negotiated with him describe the same experience. He reads a room instantly, controls leverage effortlessly, and walks away with deals others never even saw coming.

He rose from nothing, built a web of funds and holding companies, and mastered the unwritten rules that govern billion-dollar transactions. While rivals chase trends, he manufactures them. While others react, he is already ten moves ahead.
