From idea to investable thesis in 6 weeks
Most people spend years dreaming about Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition. 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.

What this is
Not a course: a structured sprint.
In Rollup Bootcamp, every week has a concrete goal, a tangible output. You learn from investors and operators; and then work with small peer groups to build your own 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
Lifelong network of peers, investors and advisors
Who is it for
Operators, M&A professionals, investors ready to start acquiring.
The Bootcamp is not for passive learners. It is for people who are willing to commit time, move fast, and do the work.
