Stop Wasting Time Searching for Deals with Liz Macrae


Listen Later

In this episode of the M&A Launchpad Podcast, hosts Casey Minshew and Feras Moussa sit down with Liz MacRae, co-founder of Village Wealth, a deal management platform built specifically for acquisition entrepreneurs and self-funded searchers. 

Liz shares how her experience as a business broker exposed major inefficiencies on the buy side—and how Village Wealth was created to solve them. From building credibility with brokers to organizing deal flow, underwriting opportunities, and leveraging AI to accelerate the acquisition process, this episode breaks down how serious buyers are gaining an edge. 

The conversation also dives into the evolving M&A landscape, why it’s getting harder to stand out with brokers and sellers, and what it actually takes today to compete for quality deals. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • How Village Wealth helps buyers organize, evaluate, and accelerate their deal search   
    • Why credibility with brokers is critical—and how to stand out in a crowded market   
      • How AI and structured processes are changing how deals are sourced and underwritten   
        • The realities of today’s acquisition market, including competition, proprietary sourcing challenges, and where opportunities still exist
