Wearing Multiple Hats in the I.S. Ecosystem: The DPO&Co Story
transcript
show notes
What happens when a consulting firm decides to start leading M&A transactions and, separately, writing checks into the very deals it consults on? Clint Simkins of DPO&Co joins host Greg Hawver to answer that question, tracing the firm's evolution from a strategy consulting shop into a fully integrated platform spanning consulting, QoE and transaction advisory services, principal investing, and a $100 million fund raise. Clint explains how scrutinizing value creation plans — including spotting internal contradictions that other LPs never get to — is the first place DPO looks when evaluating a deal. He also details how DPO's commercial HVAC roll-up has completed 20 transactions in just 22 months. Tune in for a rare look inside a firm that has built a compounding edge across every stage of the independent sponsor ecosystem.
