Ryan Lechner & Nico Gimenez - Searching with a Partner - Ep. 31

<p class="p1">My two guests for this episode are Ryan Lechner and Nico Gimenez who have raised a traditional search fund together as partners called Bonsai Group and are a few months into their search. I’ve had searchers with partners on the podcast before, Sam Rosati being a great example, but I haven’t had them on the podcast before together. What made this episode particularly fun is Ryan and Nico are lifelong friends and it shows. Finding a partner for a search with aligned values can be very difficult and luckily for them they had a very long due diligence period.</p> <p class="p1">In this episode we talk about why they chose to search as partners, how the role is divided now and might be upon close, how their outreach strategy has evolved, and a company with a very niche monopoly in surfing.</p> <p class="p1">For the full episode transcript and more information visit <a href= "https://www.alexbridgeman.com/podcast">alexbridgeman.com/podcast</a>.</p>
