It may take a few dollars less, but they are looking to get a fair price.
So in that respect, a purchase price matters.
But beyond that, in our model, we encourage them to roll over 20% to 25% of their stake.
So they want to believe that the rollover stake could be worth more than the cash out they receive on day one.
Think of the business we were starting, not just as a project business where we are doing deals, but like an operating business.
Build a business that would be there forever.
That means to take more risk early on, to invest more in the team early on and do things that would pay off dividends not in five or 10 years, but over 25, 30 years.
The reason why a lot of young investors like us have a three to five year horizon is because
that early on in our careers, there were multiple recessions and you got fired and you became unhired.
So there's been this mindset of feast or famine that at times occur, grab whatever you can versus investing in a business like most of our founders do who we buy from.
They're never building a business to sell.
They are building a business that may be transferred over to the next generation.
So having that mindset
longevity to the business really helps you build a business that does good deals, but overall, over time, beyond its enterprise value.
