Why Smart CEOs
Choose Acquisition Over Organic Growth Earlier
Organic growth: 5 years at 10% growth yields 50% growth in enterprise value.
October 19-21, 2026 in Austin at The Archer Hotel: Join 100+ vetted entrepreneurs at DealCon M&A Summit to learn the exact M&A frameworks used to scale faster, exit stronger, and build platform value, even if you have never done a deal. Strategic acquisition: one acquisition per year yields 1,200% growth in the same timeframe. Most founders put their resources into new hires or channels that barely move the needle. The ones who scale fastest invest that same effort into acquisitions — and compress a decade of growth into 12 months. Planning to exit?
75% of businesses listed for sale never close. Strategic pre-exit acquisitions that increase EBITDA by 30%+ and demonstrate rollup capability can add 1-2x to your exit multiple.
55 floors above Austin. The cocktail reception last night set the tone. Operators talking real deals, real structures, and real numbers. Nobody in that room is waiting for perfect conditions to make a move.
This morning the doors opened and 50 founders, CEOs, and investors got to work.
Matt Bodnar flew in from Nashville. The room has been locked in since 9:30 AM. Buy boxes, off-market deal flow, seller financing, earnouts, SBA structures, legal pitfalls, live deal reviews with real scenarios getting direct feedback in real time. No theory. Just the playbook.
One acquisition at half your size, done once a year, produces 2,000% enterprise value growth compared to 60% over five years of grinding organic. That math is what this room is sitting with right now.
If you are not here today, make sure you are in the room next time.

The room is set. 50 founders, CEOs, and investors are walking in this morning.
Organic growth averages 10% a year. Five years of that gets you a 60% lift in enterprise value. One acquisition at half your size, done once a year, gets you 2,000%. That gap is not a rounding error. It is the entire point of today.
Matt Bodnar flew in from Nashville. Between us we have completed over 40 acquisitions and exits. We are not here to talk theory. We are here to break down the exact playbook, deal structure by deal structure, with a room full of operators who are ready to use it.
This started for me when our startup hit $331K in revenue and cash ran out. One deal replaced three to five years of organic growth. It delivered instant cash flow, a full marketing team, and the operational infrastructure we could not have built fast enough on our own. That was not luck. That was the leverage code doing exactly what it is designed to do.
If you are a seven to nine figure entrepreneur and you are still grinding organic, you owe it to yourself to understand what you are leaving on the table.

Last night, some of the most inspiring female founders in the room came together for an intimate dinner at DealCon.
It wasn’t just about great food—it was about honest conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of connections that spark collaborations and lifelong friendships.
A reminder that when women entrepreneurs gather, the impact goes far beyond business.
