Rollup Bootcamp

From idea to investable thesis in 6 weeks

Most people spend years dreaming about their own serial acquisition platform. Desktop research. Coffee chats. Listening to podcasts. But never commit. Never build a pipeline. Never get in front of investors. Rollup Bootcamp gets you all of that, in just 6 weeks.

Next cohort starting in June 2026. As of 20 May, 5 spots remaining.

The application should not take you longer than 10 minutes to complete.

“I would not be in the position I am today had I not gone through the bootcamp - within 2 months I have a thesis, execution plan, and pipeline of potential investors.”

Senior Investment Banker / Future Serial Acquirer, Cohort 1

What this is

Not a course: a structured sprint.

In Rollup Bootcamp, every week has a clear goal and a tangible deliverable to keep you moving forward on your own serial acquisition platform. The training is delivered online, with an in-person kick off on 4 June. You'll learn directly from investors and operators, then apply those insights with a small peer group to build your personalised plan.

4 things that make our Bootcamp different:

  • Time compression
    From 6–12 months of exploration → 6 weeks of execution

  • Forced momentum
    Weekly outputs mean no coasting

  • Peer pressure
    Small accountability groups to keep you honest

  • Instant investor and operator access
    Learn from the people backing and building programmatic serial acquirers

What you will leave with

6 deliverables in 6 weeks.

If you commit, here's what you'll have built by the end of the Bootcamp:

Go / no-go decision

Refined acquisition thesis

AI-native deal sourcing and execution playbook

Starter pipeline of targets

Battle-tested investor pitch deck

Network with peers, investors and advisors

Who is it for

Operators, M&A professionals, investors ready to start a serial acquisition platform.

The Bootcamp is not for passive learners. It is for people who are willing to commit time, move fast, and do the work.
