I'm curious when you actually gave notice to your day job? Was it only once you ultimately closed? Did you consider leaving your PE firm during the diligence of the first deal that died? It seems like at a minimum, one's focus would be pretty split by the time they got to final turns on the purchase agreement and SBA financing. As background, I am currently in a remote role at a tech company and getting set up to take a swing at the "searching on the side" approach.

Great to have a close friend involved for those QA checks. Assume the solo search can be pretty lonely....
Great edition. Thanks for sharing your journey
