About The Savvy Capital Show
Welcome to The Savvy Capital Show, your new hub for data-driven insights on acquisitions, search funds, private equity, and more. Launched February 2025, our mission is to help entrepreneurs, dealmakers, and investors navigate the "Silver Tsunami" of retiring baby-boomer business owners and the booming PE consolidation that follows.

Starting our mission to decode the deal-making landscape
Why It Matters
Massive deal flow: An estimated 2.4 million U.S. businesses may change hands by 2030; over half of Canadian SMEs and one-third of UK/EU SMEs are headed toward owner retirement.
Search-fund dynamics: While Stanford studies show IRRs north of 30%, 40-45% of U.S. searchers never close a deal—and it often takes 7.8 months to sign a first LOI.
