In this episode of The Deal Podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Roth and Hunter Thevis, co-founders of S1 Technology, to explore their rapid journey from startup to a thriving MSP (Managed Service Provider) with 45+ employees, operations in 30+ states, and a spot on the Inc. 5000 list.

From a lunch meeting that sparked their partnership to multiple acquisitions and a nationwide footprint, this conversation dives into how culture, recurring revenue, EOS, and a strong co-founder dynamic have fueled their growth.

What you’ll learn:

• Why building a “business to sell” from day one matters even if you’re not planning to sell
• The power of recurring revenue in raising valuation and structuring acquisitions
• What makes a good partner, and why shared values matter more than split roles
• How S1 evaluates acquisition targets in the MSP space
• Why EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) keeps the team aligned, and culture keeps them winning
• The difference between MSP 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 and how they’re leading the evolution

Whether you’re an operator, investor, founder, or advisor, this episode delivers real insight into modern dealmaking and growth strategy.
