So what I did is I looked at all the highest valuations paid for businesses with the same research company.

And I said, why did some of these businesses sell for 30, 40, 50, 100x EBITDA?

Like, what did they have?

And I took that, put it on top of the other model I created, and I had an idea in 2013.

If I position my organization like the highest valued companies that sold, and I sold it the way they sold, I could command one of the highest values for me and my partners.

And I went, and in 2015, I did a roadshow, eight specific targeted potential buyers,

And these are sophisticated, like EQT out of Europe, the $56 billion PE group, Siemens Medical.

These are not small companies.

And I pitched them.

And my pitch was, I'm Brandon Dawson.

I have a $35 million company.

It makes $2.2 million in EBITDA.

I've reverse engineered your business.

And if you acquired me, I would add $2 billion worth of value within 36 to 48 months.

And I want 10%.

That was my pitch.

I was told...

I was told it would never fly.

I had eight presentations.

I had eight bidders.
