Lucas and Luna examine private equity through the lens of actual deals — roll-ups in HVAC, veterinary clinics, and funeral services; buy-and-build strategies; and the mechanics of leveraged buyouts. Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses.#PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #Merge

How Private Equity Consolidates Independent Car Dealerships
Sep 26, 20269 minS5
Independent car dealerships have long been the domain of local families and small groups, but a wave of private equity-backed roll-ups is changing that landscape. In this episode, we examine how firms are aggregating hundreds of franchise agreements to create regional giants with purchasing power rivaling national chains. We look at the specific mechanics of these acquisitions, the pressure on traditional dealer principals, and what this consolidation means for consumers who rely on local service networks. With interest rates shifting and vehicle margins compressing, the deal flow in automotive retail is accelerating, creating winners and losers across the country. #PrivateEquity #CarDealerships #RollUps #BusinessAcquisitions #AutomotiveRetail #FranchiseAgreements #DealerGroups #MarketConsolidation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #DealFlow #MergersAndAcquisitions #LocalBusiness #AutoIndustry #InvestmentStrategy #ConsumerImpact #EconomicTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
