Hello there. I'm Alex.
I love learning about owning and investing in small companies and building relationships with professionals in the space. My goal is to learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible, and this site is my way of documenting that learning through podcasting and writing.
Think Like An Owner
The Think Like an Owner podcast seeks out conversations with small company owners and investors to learn how to acquire and run small companies, with a focus on search funds, micro private equity, and permanent capital.
