If you’re reading this, you’re probably not someone who dreams about someday owning a laundromat.
You’re someone who thinks bigger. You want to buy real businesses that produce real cash flow, help you build real wealth, and give you more control over your time and your life.
That’s exactly why we created Dealmaker Live.
For the past few years, it’s been an exclusive event for our Dealmaker Protege members — a private room for serious acquisition entrepreneurs who are actively doing deals, raising capital, and building portfolios.
But this year... for the first time ever... we’re opening the doors.
Why?
Because we know how powerful this room is. We’ve watched people who walked in last year with zero experience walk out with a signed LOI, a new funder, or even a full-blown acquisition strategy — and we’ve seen them come back a year later holding a tombstone on stage.
If you’re ready to be around people who think like you do, people who move fast, and people who are actually doing the work — then this is where you need to be.
See you in Atlanta.

Why This Event Is Different
(And Why You Need To Be There In Person)
Let’s be honest...
Most business events are packed with hype, surface-level fluff, and speakers selling their next program.
This is the opposite of that.
Deal Maker Live is a private environment — designed by active acquisition entrepreneurs for active acquisition entrepreneurs.
We’re not here to play small. We’re here to buy businesses that matter.
You won’t be pitched. You’ll be surrounded by people who are either doing deals or funding them.
You won’t leave with a notebook full of theory. You’ll leave with clarity, connections, and fire in your gut to go close something.
As Cypher put it:
“I’ve been in real estate 15 years. I’ve never experienced this kind of energy, clarity, and momentum. Deal Maker Live helped me finally see how business buying is doable.”
Jennifer told us:
“Being here turned business buying from a dream into a goal I’m actually doing.”
But here's what makes this event truly special:
It’s not the hotel.
It’s not the lights or the stage or even the strategies (though those are damn good).
It’s the room.
The room is the asset.
Because this isn’t a crowd full of “someday” people.
It’s filled with doers. People who are actively buying, funding, and scaling real businesses.
Some walked in last year not even knowing what an LOI was.
Twelve months later, they’re on stage getting tombstones for closing 7-figure deals.
You don’t get that kind of transformation from watching videos.
You get it from being surrounded by people who are one step ahead — and reaching back to pull you forward.
That’s the magic.
The momentum.
The belief.
The accountability.
The moment when this stops being a dream and starts becoming your next 90 days.
We see it every year. People come in kind of quietly — unsure, maybe a bit stuck — and then something shifts.
They have a conversation at the networking reception that leads to a capital partner.
They meet someone at lunch who just closed a deal with the exact structure they’ve been trying to figure out for months.
They finally shake hands with someone they’ve only seen on Zoom — and suddenly things feel real.
This is the momentum most people are missing.
And the truth is, if you’re trying to buy businesses alone, behind a laptop, you’re at a huge disadvantage.
Because in this room, deals are getting funded. Teams are forming. Doors are opening. And the people who are ready... are moving fast.
You finally feel like you’re not doing this alone — because you’re not
You get real-time answers from real dealmakers who’ve done exactly what you’re trying to do
You meet lenders, funders, partners, and teammates who can help you close your next deal
You leave the weekend with more belief, more clarity, and more momentum than you’ve had all year
You’ll hear one sentence in a hallway conversation that unlocks a deal you’ve been stuck on for months
You build relationships that don’t just last the weekend — they last through your next acquisition, and the next
As Dan wrote after our Orlando event:
“Coming to Dealmaker Live was the moment everything clicked for me. I’d been circling the idea of buying a business for months, but I was stuck — overwhelmed by what I didn’t know. Being in this room, hearing from people just like me who actually did it, gave me the confidence I didn’t realize I was missing. The energy, the clarity, the conversations — it was like flipping a switch. I left with a clear plan, a shortlist of deals, and a few new friends who are now part of my team. If I hadn’t come, I’d still be watching from the sidelines.”
The Next 6 Months AFTER This Event Will Change Everything...
We say this every year — and it keeps proving true:
The 90 days after Deal Maker Live are when deals get done.
You’ll leave with clarity.
You’ll know who to call.
You’ll feel that edge. The urgency. The excitement.
Every year, Q4 becomes our community’s most productive season — not because of luck, but because they leave this event ready to act.
So if you’re tired of hesitating… wondering… watching from the sidelines… this is your window.

The REAL Reason Most Small Business Buyers Fail
It’s not because they didn’t try hard enough.
It’s because they tried to do it alone.
Most small business buyers waste months — even years — stuck in research mode, unsure how to structure the deal, where to find funding, or who to trust.
They second-guess every move. They spin their wheels.
And eventually… they quit.
But the people who win? They put themselves in rooms like this.
Because in this room, you’ll meet the funders, partners, deal makers, and coaches who will help you finally get your first — or next — acquisition over the finish line.
Don’t try to figure it all out by yourself. Just get in the room.
The Value Goes Far Beyond The Three Days
You’re not just attending an event — you’re getting plugged into a high-caliber ecosystem of deal makers who actually do this every day.
The people you’ll meet, the strategies you’ll implement, and the confidence you’ll leave with will serve you long after the lights go down.
In fact, many of our biggest success stories point to this weekend as the turning point — where it all changed.
This is about more than tactics. It’s about momentum, mindset, and making the decision to go all in.
Your Investment
(And Why It's a No-Brainer)
The regular investment for the full three-day Dealmaker LIVE - Private M & A Conference is $397, but because you're receiving this invitation early, you can secure your spot for just $197 if you register by September 1st.
Now:
$197
Sept 1st:
$397
Sept 15th:
$597
Oct 1st:
$697
This is an in-person, immersive experience — no livestream, no replays.
Because the deals, the introductions, and the real breakthroughs don’t happen on Zoom — they happen in the room.
Let me put this in perspective:
The cost of one hour with a decent M&A consultant: $250-500
The cost of a generic business acquisition course: $1,997
The cost of trying to figure this out solo: Months of delay and missed deals
For less than the cost of a single advisory call, you’ll get three full days of real-world training, access to funders and deal partners, and a community that moves fast, funds fast, and closes.
If you’re serious about buying a business this year, this is the smartest investment you can make.
URGENT: This Event Will Sell Out
We’ve sold out every Dealmaker Live we’ve ever hosted — and this year will be no different.
With over 1,000+ active Protege members, hundreds of past attendees, and now for the first time ever opening to the public... demand is at an all-time high.
There are only 1500 seats available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
If you’re even considering doing a deal in the next 6-12 months, this is the room to be in. Don’t wait and watch it happen without you.
“I thought buying businesses was impossible… until I stepped in this room.”
-Jim S, Dealmaker CEO student
My Personal Guarantee (from Carl)
I’ve spent over three decades closing deals all over the world. And I’m so confident this event will move the needle for you, I’m willing to take all the risk.
If, after attending all 3 days, you don’t believe the strategies and connections you made will significantly improve your ability to close a deal — just let my team know and I’ll refund 100% of your ticket. No questions asked.
I believe in this event that much. And once you’re in the room, I think you will too.
“Before coming here, I thought acquiring a business was for private equity guys in suits. Now I know I can do it too — and I’m already talking to a seller about a deal.”
-Mike, first-time attendee in Orlando
The Devastating Cost of Waiting
Every month you wait, the deal you could have closed… goes to someone else.
You’re not just losing time — you’re missing out on real cash flow, built-in teams, and momentum you can’t get from DIY efforts or starting from scratch.
If you're still thinking, “Maybe next year,” ask yourself:
● How many more months can you afford to watch others acquire your dream business? ● How long will you let confusion or isolation keep you stuck in the same spot? ● How many more "almost" deals are you willing to let slip away?
The difference between people who do deals and those who don’t?
They get in the right room, with the right people, at the right time.
This is that room. And this is that time.

P.S. – Every month you wait, someone else closes the deal you could have had. This event gives you the clarity, strategy, and connections you need to stop overthinking and start acquiring.
P.P.S. – Still on the fence? Ask anyone who’s ever been to Dealmaker LIVE — the energy, the insights, the relationships you build in just 3 days will do more for your acquisition journey than months of research.
P.P.P.S. – Picture yourself 6 months from now: Are you still stuck, still researching… or are you negotiating your next deal with confidence?
