The Deal Closed. Now What?

Investment diligence is all about answering two questions: Do we want to own this business? And what would we do with it if we did?

But then the deal closes, and all those problems you identified and opportunities you imagined during diligence become yours to tackle. So where do you even start?

In this episode, Ryan and Paul compare notes on what actually happens in the first year of owning a business: how they get the ball rolling on value creation, which early initiatives tend to make the biggest difference, and how they team up with their portfolio companies to tackle the inevitable year 1 curve balls.
