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":"Why Private Equity Is Buying Up Hearing Aid Dispensaries","slug":"why-private-equity-is-buying-up-hearing-aid-dispensaries","published_at":"2026-07-05T04:43:33+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/why-private-equity-is-buying-up-hearing-aid-dispensaries","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-0094.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0094.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna dive into a surprising roll-up target: hearing aid dispensaries. With the OTC hearing aid rule from 2022 finally reshaping the market, private equity sees a fragmented $8 billion industry ripe for consolidation. They break down how firms like Audibel and HearingLife are being acquired by larger platforms, the demographics driving demand, and why the average cost of a pair of hearing aids—$4,600—creates both opportunity and scrutiny. A focused look at what happens when PE meets audiology. #PrivateEquity #HearingAids #HealthcareInvesting #RollUp #Audibel #HearingLife #OTCHeaingAids #Demographics #Consolidation #BusinessAcquisition #HealthcareRollUp #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #Audiology #SilverEconomy #HealthcarePE #MergerAndAcquisition Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna dive into a surprising roll-up target: hearing aid dispensaries.
