Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Dzmitry Miranovich (https://x.com/dzmitry9). Dzmitry is building a massive roll-up in the veterinary clinic space, currently with over 20 locations! Many people have ideas about what a roll-up or holdco actually is, but Dzmitry breaks down the real differences and reveals why he chose the roll-up route. We dive deep into what makes a good industry for a roll-up, from market fragmentation and tailwinds to operational value creation and how to actually quantify your runway for consolidation.
We also discuss the nuances of the JV model and why your first acquisition is crucial for long-term success. It's an insightful look into the art of consolidation and what it truly takes to build a successful roll-up.
