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 Dog Daycares","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-dog-daycares","published_at":"2026-07-02T16:55:09+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-dog-daycares","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-0089.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0089.mp3","summary":"Private equity has quietly consolidated dog daycare and boarding. In this episode, we look at the rise of Camp Bow Wow franchise roll-ups and the new PE-backed chain The Dog Stop, which now operates over 60 locations across the US. Lucas and Luna break down the unit economics of a single daycare center—$1.2 million in revenue at 30% EBITDA margins—and why these businesses appeal to firms chasing predictable cash flows. They also discuss the risks: the 2023 pullback in pet spending, the challenge of finding trained staff, and what happens when a roll-up hits its growth ceiling. Specific numbers: the average daycare generates $850k to $1.5M in annual revenue; the roll-up model targets 20+ locations to achieve corporate overhead efficiencies. If you've ever wondered why your neighborhood daycare now has a corporate logo and a uniformed manager, this episode explains the deal math behind it. #PrivateEquity #RollUp #DogDaycare #PetIndustry #CampBowWow #TheDogStop #Franchise #Business #Finance #PetCare #MergersAndAcquisitions #UnitEconomics #EBITDA #Consolidation #PetServices #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Private equity has quietly consolidated dog daycare and boarding.
