  • How $10M - $100M Online Business Acquisitions Are Done with Emmet Kilduff

    How $10M - $100M Online Business Acquisitions Are Done with Emmet Kilduff
    Feb 25 2026
    Buying a $10M–$100M online business isn’t just about having capital. It’s about relationships, structure, leverage, and knowing how the game is really played behind closed doors. In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with Emmet Kilduff, founder of The Fortia Group and former investment banker at Morgan Stanley, to unpack how serious online acquisitions actually get done in the $10M to $100M range. After 25 years in M&A, Emmet pulls back the curtain on what separates institutional buyers from everyday acquirers, and why trying to “figure it out yourself” is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make. You’ll learn: The 3-stage “Flirt, Date, Marry” framework elite dealmakers use to build acquisition relationships years before a deal closesWhy the best buyers pitch sellers, and how to create a buyer deck that makes founders want youThe real funding structures used by strategics, private equity, aggregators, and search fundsWhat’s changed since the 2021 acquisition boom, and why 100% upfront deals are basically extinctThe truth about earn-outs (and why most are designed for buyers, not sellers)Why recurring revenue businesses command premium multiples, and how valuation arbitrage actually worksHow to transition from operator to owner so you can think strategically and fund bigger moves This is not theory. This is how real capital allocators think. If you want to understand how serious acquirers finance deals, structure terms, protect downside, and build relationships that lead to eight- and nine-figure exits, this episode is your behind-the-scenes briefing. If you’re planning to buy, sell, or scale an online business and want to understand how institutional-level M&A actually works, hit the “Play” button. Episode Highlights 03:12 Why Even $10M Buyers Shouldn’t Go It Alone 05:08 The “Flirt, Date, Marry” Framework for Closing Bigger Deals 08:41 How Smart Buyers Pitch Sellers (And Win Trust Fast) 12:06 The Truth About Earn-Outs (And Why Sellers Should Be Careful) 18:47 The Three Types of Institutional Buyers in the $10M–$100M Range 23:55 Why Recurring Revenue Changes Everything in Valuation 28:36 The Strategic Conversations That Should Happen Before Price Is Discussed 35:44 From Operator to Owner: Making the Shift to Strategic Thinking 40:27 Building an Advisory Board That Actually Moves the Needle Key Takeaways ➥ Buying a $10M–$100M online business is as much about relationships and strategy as it is about money. ➥ Use the “Flirt, Date, Marry” framework: build trust early, share information progressively, and finalize only when both sides are aligned. ➥ Strong buyers actively pitch sellers—your experience, vision, and team matter just as much as your capital. ➥ Typical deal structures include 60–80% upfront with the balance via earn-outs, equity rollover, or milestone-based deferred payments. ➥ Structuring earn-outs around revenue, not profit, reduces disputes and protects long-term relationships. ➥ Recurring revenue businesses (SaaS, subscriptions, memberships) command higher multiples and offer more predictable financing. ➥ Advisory panels and mentors accelerate decision-making, reduce risk, and boost credibility with sellers. ➥ Transitioning from operator to owner requires delegation, trust, and strategic focus over day-to-day management. ➥ Patience, preparation, and network-building are the hidden factors that make or break acquisition success. About Emmet Kilduff Emmet Kilduff is the Founder of The Fortia Group, an M&A advisory firm specializing in the sale of eCommerce brands and digital agencies. With a background at leading Wall Street investment banks including Morgan Stanley, Emmet brings institutional-level M&A, valuation, and deal-structuring expertise to small and mid-market online businesses. Through Fortia, he has advised founders, buyers, and investors on acquisitions across the UK, US, and international markets, helping them navigate financing, positioning, and exits with professional rigor. On this episode of the Buying Online Businesses Podcast, Emmet shares how sophisticated buyers think about funding acquisitions, structuring deals, and avoiding the common mistakes that derail first-time online business buyers.

  • Which Buyers Lose Deals & Which Win M&A Deals & Why with Ryan Condie

    Which Buyers Lose Deals & Which Win M&A Deals & Why with Ryan Condie
    Feb 18 2026
    Online business acquisitions aren’t won by the highest bidder - and they’re definitely not lost for the reasons most buyers think. In this episode of the BOB Podcast, Jaryd Krause sits down with Ryan Condik - serial entrepreneur, M&A advisor at Quiet Light, and founder of Let’s Buy a Business - to unpack what actually determines who wins (and who loses) in competitive acquisition processes. Most buyers assume it all comes down to price. Just offer more and you win, right? Not exactly. In real-world M&A, things like certainty, speed, positioning, and creativity often matter more than a bigger number. Ryan shares behind-the-scenes stories from competitive deals, including why some buyers lost over small term differences, how one buyer won simply by building a genuine relationship with the seller, and why “certainty of close” can be far more powerful than offering an extra 10%. You’ll learn: Why sellers often choose lower offers - and what they’re really evaluatingHow certainty, speed, and clean deal structures give buyers a serious edgeWhy trust and relationships can outweigh valuationThe common buyer mistakes that quietly kill dealsHow creative structuring (including equity rollovers) can change the outcomeWhy knowing your value-add before submitting an LOI shifts the entire negotiation Whether you’re buying your first online business or competing for premium assets in a crowded market, this episode breaks down what separates serious acquirers from hopeful bidders. In M&A, price gets attention - but certainty wins deals. 🎧 Hit play to learn how to position yourself as the buyer sellers actually want to choose. Episode Highlights 02:53 Why Chasing Billions Is a Trap (And What Actually Builds Freedom) 12:42 The “Seasons of Life” Framework for Smarter Entrepreneurship 18:02 The Two-Way Door Rule: How Elite Entrepreneurs Make Fast, Confident Decisions 20:17 Why Most Aspiring Entrepreneurs Fail Before They Even Start 24:34 The #1 Mistake Buyers Make When Acquiring a Business 26:24 Why Most Buyers Lose Deals (And Don’t Even Know Why) 28:46 The $400 Move That Won a Multi-Million Dollar Deal 30:45 How Relationships Beat Higher Offers in Competitive M&A 32:04 The 10% Lower Offer That Still Won the Deal 35:45 SBA Buyers vs. Serious Buyers: What Sellers Actually Want 37:38 When Paying MORE Is the Smartest Financial Decision 40:01 How to Know When You’ve Found “The One” (And Go All In) 43:00 AI, Adaptation & Why Average Operators Will Get Left Behind Key Takeaways ➥ Traditional SEO is still the foundation—AI and GEO optimization enhance it rather than replace it. ➥ Strong brand presence and mentions across multiple platforms are now more important than backlinks for AI visibility. ➥ Being associated with reputable brands or industry leaders boosts authority and trust in AI-driven results. ➥ Content hubs and semantically related pages improve AI discoverability more than focusing on keywords alone. ➥ Social media, forums, and niche communities (Reddit, Medium, Facebook Groups) contribute to AI recognition. ➥ Balance is key: optimize for AI while maintaining usability and experience for human visitors. ➥ AI content generators can efficiently create research-backed, brand-aligned, and contextually rich content.

In this episode of the BOB Podcast, Jaryd Krause welcomes back Rad Paluszak to explore the transition from SEO to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and what it means for founders, operators, and investors navigating an AI-driven world.
