In this episode of the M&A Mastermind Podcast, host Nick Olsen sits down with Andrew Perlmutter, founder of PE Marketplace, discusses the platform he created to facilitate transactions in the lower middle market. The platform aims to connect buyers and sellers in the 1 to 50 million enterprise value range. Perlmutter explains that the increased emergence of private buyers in the M&A space is driven by factors such as population demographics and the growth of family offices and independent sponsors. PE Marketplace helps M&A advisors by pre-vetting buyers and providing a standardized teaser process, making it easier to find quality potential buyers. The platform also plans to incorporate AI to improve the matching process and offer additional services to users.
