Buy Then Build Summit

Search 2.0 is officially here—and everything you know about acquisition entrepreneurship is about to change. When I wrote Buy Then Build in 2018, buying a business was niche and unstructured. Today, AI-driven tools, institutional capital, and robust support networks like the Acquisition Lab have transformed the search landscape. This evolution demands new tools, new strategies, and new insights. The Buy Then Build Summit is the tactical 3-day event about everything Search 2.0 and it’s happening here in St. Louis, Sept. 24 - 26. Learn how to leverage new tools and access institutional capital to find, close, and scale bigger businesses faster.
