This is my second episode hosting Alex De Pfyffer and Ross Porter, founders of Heritage Holding, on the podcast. A lot has happened since their first episode in late 2022. They\u2019ve built 7 platforms through 25 acquisitions and recently raised a committed fund for the next five platforms. They\u2019ve done excellent sourcing, but I also admire their ability to build a strong team at Heritage that allows them to move faster across multiple strategies and platforms.\n\nWe talk about elements of a platform thesis in their view, integrating teams while supporting founders, future platforms, speed, and so much more.\n\nOne last note, I\u2019ve launched my search called Airframe Group and I\u2019m looking for great companies and experts in industrial services and value-added distribution. Please reach out, I am always excited to meet owners and experts in the industry. Email me at alex@airframegroup.com.\n\nListen weekly and follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Breaker, and TuneIn.\xa0\n\nLearn more about Alex and Think Like an Owner at https://tlaopodcast.com/\n\nLinks:\nHeritage Holding\nAlex on LinkedIn\nRoss on LinkedIn\n\nTopics:\n(00:00:00) - Intro\n(00:02:54) - Recapping Heritage Holding's last few years of growth\n(00:08:00) - What drove the decision to sell off platforms?\n(00:11:42) - How did initial platform acquisitions inform your criteria for future acquisitions?\n(00:18:08) - Fragmented PE interest\n(00:24:59) - Building out the Heritage team\n(00:31:52) - Organizing the leadership team around integrating new acquisitions\n(00:40:15) - Developing Sales teams\n(00:44:20) - Raising a Fund\n(00:48:03) - Setting a fast pace for activity and execution
