And before we get to that, Ana Lia, remind people what new Majority Capital is, what it's positioning is, who it's for and just the bullet points of the program itself.

The BET Accelerator is a 10 week program in which you learn how to buy a business and they want to close the equity gap and so they help entrepreneurs really understand the process and give them support as well as financial means based on their programs that they offer so you can buy a business. And so I was in a group of a lot of people that were very amazing and created a cohort.

It was a small cohort, 43, I think something that I adored was it was 50% female, which I had very seldomly experienced in my career in tech to have a room 50% female. So that was very enriching for me. And yeah, wonderful program.

I can definitely recommend to check their website and learn more about them because they can give better information than I ever can.

Yeah, yeah. Well, people might recognize the name. We've had a couple of new Majority Capital grads. I don't know if that's the language that alumni, I think they use.

Alumni, yeah. Gabe Perez, Daryl Lindy. So there have been and I may be forgetting others as well. So definitely an important program for the space.

If you ask owners in the ETA and search community which insurance broker provides highest quality work, great outcomes and has a practice dedicated to searchers and acquisition entrepreneurs. One name comes up again and again. Oberle.

Oberle Risk Strategies has worked with hundreds of searchers over nearly a decade and is in fact led by a two time successful searcher, August Felker, which makes Oberle a specialty insurance brokerage for searchers by a former searcher. And if you've got a business under Loi, Oberle will provide complimentary due diligence on that business's insurance and benefits program. An easy, no risk way…

To know August and the team at Oberle. To take advantage, check out oberle-risk.com that's O B E R L E- risk.com,. Link in the notes. Kelly Green is the name of the business you bought. How'd you find it and how did you move so quickly?

So I, when I started my search, one of the things that I remember reading was that you should get into. I get mailing lists from brokers. That was the way that I had understood it.

So I reached out to brokers and tried to get into their buyer database. And there was a local brokerage called iba and so I just applied for them. They had a little bit of more convoluted application process where you had to do your personal financial statement and send all those things in.
