Matt Estep - Picking Low Hanging Fruit Off the Ground - Ep. 40

<p class="p1">My guest Matt Estep got his business start early in life when he started a go-kart manufacturing business in high school with dreams of eventually being a professional NASCAR driver. The business still exists today but Matt sold it with other plans in mind. Matt went to Harvard Business School, launched a search fund, and acquired Midwest Supplies. Following the sale of that business to a private equity group, Matt has invested in multiple other small companies and dozens of search funds.</p> <p class="p1">During the episode Matt and I talk about some of the changes and improvements he made in Midwest Supplies, a business of his that has struggled through COVID, what he looks for in new acquisitions, and some niche companies he’s found such as a fireworks retailer and a mall Santa business. This conversation was a fantastic blend of investing and operating and I hope you walk away with some great lessons from both sides.</p> <p class="p1">For the full episode transcript and more information, visit <a href= "https://alexbridgeman.com/podcast/">alexbridgeman.com/podcast</a>.</p>
