American Operator

We got featured today as the anti-PE play in Money Stuff, a newsletter read by... exclusively private equity guys? I guess all press is good press. Thanks @matt_levine!

"Small businesses are huge creators of wealth, and in my opinion, they’re the most pure version of the American Dream—you come to this country, and you can build a better life for yourself." — @buysellSMB x.com/OperateUSA/sta…

$10 trillion in small business value is set to change hands as Boomers retire soon.  And with AI disrupting traditional pathways, this may be a golden age for young talent to become SMB owners. Check out what Will is building for the next generation of local owners & operators.

Nearly half of America's small business owners are 55 or older. Most don't have a succession plan. These aren't just businesses. They're decades of relationships, reputations, and community wealth built by hardworking men and women pursuing their American Dream. When they close without a local successor, that all slowly disappears. This doesn't just impact the owners. It impacts their employees, customers and communities. Fox Business covered the problem this week, and the role American Operator is playing in solving it. Story below
