Alongside Stone Mountain Ventures, I am starting to Angel invest. I will be writing checks between $10k-$100k and am industry agnostic. If you know anyone raising, send them my way!
Haven’t tweeted in a while. Little about me…
- left PE 3 years ago to launch a Venture Fund (Stone Mountain Ventures) with over 20 LPs and a little under $2M raised
- been running my fund and have learned a lot about breaking into VC and paving your way when it’s hard to break in
- own and operate 2 small businesses generating about $800k in revenue
- actively looking to acquire more businesses and grow a Holding Company
- been sober since 4/13/2022
- enjoy running and not very good about posting on social media so trying to be authentic and take it one day at a time
- based in Dallas, TX

Yesterday I posted about how to use $75K to buy a $1M business that can pay you $200K.
Lots of naysayers, and also lots of curious people.
So here's an actual deal that meets this criteria (currently on BizBuySell).
Let's talk about how we can buy it!
