The Buyout Show with Fexingo: Private Equity, Roll-Ups, and Business Acquisitions
Lucas and Luna examine private equity through the lens of actual deals — roll-ups in HVAC, veterinary clinics, and funeral services; buy-and-build strategies; and the mechanics of leveraged buyouts. Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses.
