Description
The case discusses the trials and eventual success of two young Harvard MBAs who chose to purchase a company immediately upon graduation from their MBA program. Having no assets of their own, Kirk Reidinger and Jamie Turner raised a search fund to meet expenses during their search process, and then spent two years locating an acquisition. The case offers unique opportunities to value a cash-flow business and explore fundraising opportunities. In addition, the case should provide motivation for MBAs interested in going into business for themselves directly out of the MBA program.
