The exact cycle I used to buy businesses, install AI, and sell Rollups.com to a company owned by Naval Ravikant. Walked through live, step by step — even if you've never bought, scaled, or sold a business before.
The smartest operators I know aren't building from zero anymore. They're buying cash flow, installing AI, and selling the upgraded version 2–4 years later. Most people are still stuck fighting yesterday's war.
You're burning years trying to launch something from scratch — while other people buy a business that's already profitable by Friday.
You already own a business, but hiring more people and running more ads isn't moving EBITDA — and the AI window is quietly closing.
You've been grinding for 10+ years with no real plan to get out. No positioning, no clear multiple, and no big acquirers on speed dial.
Top Silicon Valley firms (General Catalyst is one — a $32B fund) are pouring billions into the exact buy-AI-sell thesis you've been sitting on the sidelines of.
I started selling flowers on the street at 13. Then eBay. Then domains. Then I got tired of building from zero — so I bought my first app company on 100% seller financing, poured early Facebook mobile install ads into it, and rode it into the top 100 of the App Store.
That one deal turned into a VC partnership, a $200M rollup I supported, Acquisitions.com ($1B+ in deals), and eventually Rollups.com — which I sold to a company owned by Naval Ravikant (the investor behind AngelList, and one of the most respected voices in tech). The same thesis General Catalyst — a $32B Silicon Valley VC — is now deploying billions into: buy → install AI → exit to a strategic.
The smartest people I know aren't building from zero anymore. They're buying cash flow, installing AI, and selling the upgraded version.
On this workshop I'm compressing that 20-year journey into one live session — and handing you the exact buy-AI-sell cycle so you can run it on a business you already own, or one you're about to acquire.
The workshop is built around the three pillars that took me from flowers on a street corner to an exit at Naval Ravikant's company.
How to find profitable cash-flowing businesses and buy them — without burning your savings or begging a bank.
What I install the day after closing to take margins from boring to breathtaking — without firing a soul.
How to position the upgraded business so big acquirers and private equity are the ones chasing you — not the other way around.
No fluff, no bait-and-switch. Five deep dives, each one a piece of the cycle I run inside my own portfolio every single year.
The macro shift from "build from scratch" to "buy and upgrade." Why the next 24 months are the most important window of the decade — and what happens to operators who sit it out.
Live walkthrough of how I find $500K–$5M profitable businesses most people never see. The 5-filter screen I run before I open a single document. The seller financing & SBA structures that let me buy without writing a giant check. Where the smart capital is actually flowing in 2025.
The exact stack of AI agents I deploy across sales, operations, support, and finance the day after closing. How it took a boring 12% margin business to 25%+ in under a year — without firing a single person. The "AI premium" big buyers are paying right now, and how to capture it.
The exact roll-up narrative that 3–5x'd my exit multiple. The story I told the buyer's team — and how you can build the same story for your business. How to get private equity, big acquirers, and billion-dollar platforms chasing you instead of the other way around.
Open mic at the end. Bring a business you're trying to buy, sell, or install AI into. I'll answer as many as we can get to. This is the part you show up live for.
Two bonuses to help you find and buy a business. Two to help you install AI and grow the margins. Two to help you sell it for a premium. You get all six the moment you register.
Exactly where I look for profitable businesses most people never see — the on-market marketplaces worth checking, the off-market channels nobody talks about, and the exact search filters to use on each one. Save yourself 6 months of clicking around wondering where everyone else is getting their deals.
The exact word-for-word scripts and offer structures I use to buy cash-flowing businesses without writing a giant check — including the "seller becomes the bank" conversation, the earn-out framework, and the one question that gets most sellers to say yes to creative terms.
The complete list of every AI agent running inside our portfolio right now — what each one replaces, the stack it's built on, and the exact order to deploy them in. A clean, copy-able map you can hand to your team (or yourself) the week after closing a deal.
A week-by-week plan for your first 90 days of AI install — what to turn on in week 1, what to measure in week 4, and how I take a boring 12% margin business to 25%+ without firing a single person. The same playbook I run on every business I buy.
The exact positioning doc I use to reposition a "decent" business as a must-have for big buyers — the same story framework I used on my own exit. Fill in the blanks with your numbers and you'll sound like a serious operator the minute you walk into a sell-side meeting.
The list of the strategic buyers, private equity firms, and roll-up operators who are actively writing checks for AI-powered businesses right now — plus the exact outreach approach that gets them to take the call instead of ghosting you.
I'm not looking for everyone. I'm looking for operators who are ready to stop building from zero and start buying cash flow.
I've spent the last 20 years in the trenches of mergers & acquisitions. Built Acquisitions.com into a $1B+ deal platform. Supported a $200M rollup. Built & sold Rollups.com to a company owned by Naval Ravikant (the legendary investor behind AngelList). Now I live in Cyprus, run 28 AI agents inside my portfolio, and partner with & invest in entrepreneurs running the same buy-AI-sell cycle.
Moran's approach cut months off my first acquisition. The AI install alone added six figures of free cash flow in year one.
I went from chasing startups to buying a profitable business with seller financing. The exit narrative alone is worth 10x the price.
You're not paying for "access." You're paying for the exact playbook that took me from selling flowers on a street corner to a real exit, sold to a company owned by Naval Ravikant.
