Kaustubh Deo - NYC Private Equity to a Tree Service Acquisition in Seattle - Ep.114

<p>My guest for this episode is Kaustubh Deo. Kaustubh recently acquired a tree service business in Seattle through a self-funded search after working in private equity in New York. I&#39;ve had the pleasure of getting to know Kaustubh over the last two years and have found him to be one of the most insightful thinkers in the search space.</p><p> A good portion of our conversation focuses on concepts like risk-reward and making transitions, topics he has given a lot of thought. Throughout our discussion, we talk about the differences operating in large private equity compared to in small companies, loosening his deal-breaker list, effectively investing his time learning the new business, and YouTube strategy for the tree service industry.</p><p><span>Listen weekly and follow the show on </span><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a><span>, </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a><span>, </span><a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a><span>, </span><a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a><span>, </span><a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a><span>, and </span><a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a><span>.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Links:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaustubh-deo/" rel="nofollow">Kaustubh Deo on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://bloomatree.com/" rel="nofollow">Blooma Tree Experts</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/guiltyoftreeson" rel="nofollow">Guilty of Treeson on YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://singleops.com/" rel="nofollow">SingleOps </a>&amp; the <a href="https://singleops.com/podcast/?hsa_acc=7719116620
