Months of learning in a few days This programming short circuits months of experiential learning into a matter of days. The content is top-notch, and the networking is fantastic. Worth every penny if you are serious about a self-funded search.

Exceeded my expectations Exceeded my expectations! Well worth the money. Sam and his crew are knowledgeable, put together a good program, and are a fun group as well.

For once, useful content and network There are so many courses out there for entrepreneurs looking to buy their first business. 99% of it is useless fluff. Sam's bootcamp is 100% granular, practical advice that will materially help you get from thinking about searching to executing your first deal. Combine that with a deal team that is first class and a cohort of great participants and you have a few days of excellent investment in your journey to business owner. Highly recommended.

Awesome experience in Tampa Awesome experience in Tampa! I had done a lot of research and wasn't sure how much more I would learn... then I probably doubled my knowledge base in 3 days! The cohort style is awesome and I'm in close touch with several of my friends from camp regularly, and also run important issues by the group any time I'm uncertain with something. The deal team connections are huge and have added confidence for me that I can succeed on this path. It was great to learn both how to raise capital, but also that I can be an investor in other searchers deals too. Can't say enough good things and while there are certainly other hucksters online selling questionable courses - this one is definitely NOT that, and is completely worth the $$.

Well Worth It I attended SMBootcamp as part of the November 2023 cohort. My time there was very well spent. I had attended the Self-Funded Search Conference in Dallas, the HBS ETA Conference at Harvard, and had read the books, listened to the podcasts, and even interviewed many Searchers and Investors. However, the difference between all of that and SMBootcamp is that it puts theory into practice. Every question I had was answered, I was able to raise issues that were personal to me in my Search and gain clarity, and I left with a full Deal Team as well as all of the information and resources/templates etc. I need to close a deal. Search is such a personal endeavor, and having the support, resources, and connections (and an incredible, vetted cohort) is just next level. Gaining the confidence and competence needed isn't straightforward in the SMB M&A world. However, what Sam has built here will get you there. No regrets, and time and money well spent.
