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":"Private Equity Is Buying Up Pet Insurance Companies","slug":"private-equity-is-buying-up-pet-insurance-companies","published_at":"2026-06-30T16:55:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/private-equity-is-buying-up-pet-insurance-companies","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-0084.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0084.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Buyout Show, Lucas and Luna dive into a rapidly consolidating niche: pet insurance. They break down how private equity firms are rolling up regional pet insurers, the numbers behind the market's growth, and what it means for pet owners facing rising premiums. With US pet insurance premiums now exceeding $5 billion annually, firms like JAB Holding Company and others are betting that emotional attachment to pets creates sticky, high-margin revenue. But as M&A accelerates, will competition shrink and prices rise? Lucas and Luna examine one recent deal—the acquisition of a mid-sized insurer by a PE-backed platform—and discuss the economics of insuring a pet versus a human. #PetInsurance #PrivateEquity #RollUps #MergersAndAcquisitions #JABHolding #PetHealthcare #InsuranceConsolidation #Veterinary #Business #Finance #BusinessNews #Investing #InsuranceTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #LucasAndLuna #PetOwnerEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Buyout Show, Lucas and Luna dive into a rapidly consolidating niche: pet insurance.
