Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

They want to understand and want to grow a business beyond their own means.

And they're excited about partnering and they have an open book.

Our best founders, clinically, technically, there's a baking sweet goods or a doctor or a plumber.

We have a water safety business.

It's so important that they're really good at their craft and they're able to identify who are others good at their craft.

So to me, it's reputation and industry, tactically sound.

You don't hear me say management team very often, do you?

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

Because it's important.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

What we're going to go build, we're going to take what you all have and surround you and compliment you.

Oftentimes, the founders are going to play a role, but not the CEO.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

And we're very clear on the front end.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

By the way, our biggest company is a veterinary company.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

We started when it was five of revenue, one of EBITDA, three locations.

Today, it's over 400 locations, over 1.3 billion of revenue.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

That's founder veterinary and still a CEO.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

So that's one extreme.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

That can be one extreme.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

The other extreme, I can say, Patrick, you're a great emergency room doctor.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Justin Ishbia - Lessons from Acquiring 586 Companies [Invest Like the Best, REPLAY]

If we're going to partner, you're not going to be the CEO in our thesis.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

If you're okay with that, but you want to be the chief medical officer, we would love you to be the person who helps recruit other doctors to this team and sells the value of why we can help people in rural parts of America better than anybody else.
