In this episode, we sit down with Scott Bartnick and Josh Bilmes of Oceans Equity to explore the underside of deal-making: How they source and evaluate targets, how they partner with founders and executives, and how they build growth engines post-acquisition. We talk shop on buy-outs, add-ons, management alignment, and value creation.
