Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up Dental Support Organizations","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-dental-support-organizations","published_at":"2026-06-11T16:48:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-dental-support-organizations","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0045.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0045.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna dive into the rapid consolidation of dentistry through Dental Support Organizations, or DSOs. They examine how private equity firms like JAB Holding Company have rolled up thousands of independent practices under brands like Aspen Dental and Heartland Dental. The hosts discuss the business model: DSOs handle billing, marketing, and HR while dentists focus on clinical care. With about 15% of US dentists now affiliated with DSOs and that number growing fast, the episode looks at what this means for patients, dentists, and the quality of care. Luna raises the question of whether the model creates conflicts between profit and treatment recommendations. Lucas cites data showing that DSO-affiliated practices average 20% higher revenue per dentist but also higher referral rates to specialists within the network. The episode uses specific examples from recent deals, including a $500 million roll-up of pediatric dental practices in 2025. #PrivateEquity #DSOs #DentalConsolidation #AspenDental #HeartlandDental #JABHolding #Business #Healthcare #RollUps #Dentistry #PE #MergersAndAcquisitions #PracticeManagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #DentalSupportOrganizations #Consolidation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna dive into the rapid consolidation of dentistry through Dental Support Organizations, or DSOs.
