Caught up with Eiichi Arai to discuss today’s IPO of Next Generation Technology Group Inc. (NGTG) $319a
The Japanese serial acquirer achieved its scale “with minimal equity by securing cost-effective, high-leverage debt packages for our acquisitions – sometimes reducing our equity contribution to near zero. The average interest rate on our group's existing debt is around 1%.”

The “Long Term Hold” model is spreading within the acquisition entrepreneurship community and fits the programmatic acquisition approach.

FRESH INTERVIEW: deep dive with Johan Steene & Daniel Zhang at the serial acquirer Teqnion.
Every good story has strong characters, and Teqnion is no exception.
They dare to be simple, which ironically makes them anything but!

Buffett’s desired personality traits are all high. But the energy here is unmatched.
The duo creates a motivational distortion field.
And the energy is channeled into incremental improvements, not grand gestures.
They also happen to share cocktail tips that read like poetry. Enjoy your weekend reading! $TEQ
