An operator, not a spreadsheet
I'm Matt Beagle. I've spent 30 years building and leading sales organizations, including 20 years at T-Mobile, where I built sales verticals that didn't previously exist across education, state and local government, federal, and the Fortune 500. Most recently I served as Chief Revenue Officer at a managed IT services and cybersecurity provider, where revenue grew 21% in my first year.
I also know the other lane from the ground up. I hold a degree in construction, and I've done the work. I framed houses, plumbed them, and wired them before going on to invest in general contractors. I buy in two lanes because I've lived in both: industrial businesses I understand with my hands, and software businesses I understand from running their revenue.
I buy companies to own them, not flip them. Where the business needs a successor, I step in and run it. Where a strong leadership team already exists, I back it and stay out of its way.
I operate on the independent sponsor model: acquisitions are funded deal-by-deal with private investors and lenders, and capital is committed before I sign a letter of intent. You'll never wonder whether the money is real. It's arranged before I ask for exclusivity.
