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 Wedding Venues","slug":"why-private-equity-is-buying-up-wedding-venues","published_at":"2026-06-26T04:43:01+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-wedding-venues","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-0075.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0075.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna dive into the booming private equity interest in wedding venues, focusing on the $60 billion US wedding industry and why firms like Leonard Green & Partners and KKR are backing wedding venue roll-ups. They break down the economics: venues generate 40-60% EBITDA margins, have sticky customer demand regardless of economic cycles, and benefit from the 'one-day event' model that limits liability. The hosts discuss the competitive dynamics, including how PE-owned venues are offering all-inclusive packages to capture higher spend per couple, and the risk of commoditizing a highly emotional purchase. #PrivateEquity #WeddingVenues #RollUps #Business #Finance #Investment #EBITDA #ConsumerSpending #EventIndustry #LeonardGreen #KKR #AllInclusive #MergersAndAcquisitions #PEInvesting #ExperienceEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WeddingIndustry Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna dive into the booming private equity interest in wedding venues, focusing on the $60 billion US wedding industry and why firms like Leonard…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":575,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/episodes/why-private-equity-is-buying-up-wedding-venues/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/why-private-equity-is-buying-up-wedding-venues.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
