Collin Hathaway - Investing and Operating in Home Services - Ep. 32
My guest today is Collin Hathaway. Collin runs a small micro private equity fund in Seattle, WA called Skylight Capital and has developed a strong core competence in plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and other home services businesses. He also has one of the most interesting stories I\u2019ve heard of getting into micro private equity. During the episode we talk about his path to Skylight, why he focuses on home services businesses, characteristics he looks for in new acquisitions, and a little bit of his home services operating playbook.\nI\u2019ve been trying to get Collin on the podcast since our first conversation a year ago and I wish this episode could have been longer. Collin is a great, entertaining storyteller and I hope you enjoy his hearing fascinating journey so far.\nFor the full episode transcript and other information, visit alexbridgeman.com/podcast.\nI\u2019m also the founder of The Operator\u2019s Handbook, a print publication where small company operators share their insights and ideas for building more effective and profitable companies.
