Job details

Gestalt Capital is looking for a business development representative to help us find proprietary businesses to acquire. We are a family-office backed investment group that acquires businesses for long-term holds. Co-founded in 2023, we have made six investments since inception (including co-owning 50 Five Guys franchises across the USA), and are looking to now acquire more businesses. Who You Are Charming, personable, and damn good on the phone - this is a cold outreach role; Good track record talking to business owners, with a preference in blue collar fields; Love finance and business, and hustling for business. What Success Looks Like You will build out our deal origination tech stack within one month and begin outreach immediately; Within the first year, you will be responsible for sourcing one large platform deal (>$50M EV), and one tuck-in (<$20M EV) for a portfolio company; Within three years, you will be running a team of three, in charge of finding multiple deals per year for the group to acquire. Salary + Others Base at $70k, with OTE targeting double that if you close deals. More if we close more than the 1 platform + 1 tuck-in; Hybrid model, but want you in the office 2x / week. This role is ideal for someone who wants to be part of a group acquiring businesses, wants to run a search fund in the future, or wants to use it as an offramp into a solid MBA program. This is not ideal for someone who hates cold calling or wants to be a PE analyst (that may be a path one day, but certainly not what we're hiring for).
