Inside Micro PE explores how modern founders buy, build, and sell small digital businesses - from SaaS and newsletters to apps and content sites. Hosted by Dev Shah, founder of Pocket Fund, this podcast brings you inside the world of micro private equity- where builders are quietly turning $10K side projects into six-figure SaaS exits. Inside Micro PE covers a wide variety- from $5K SaaS buys to seven figure rollups. We break down how they sourced their deals, manage the takeover, scale lean, and create exits on their own terms. We explore the buy-then-build model from different angles- uncovering the strategies, frameworks, and play books that make acquisitions work. Each episode features raw conversations with founders, indie hackers, and investors who are redefining micro PE. So whether you’re a first-time buyer, indie hacker, or emerging fund manager, there’s something here for you. The micro PE space is evolving fast - powered by global talent, AI, automation, and marketplaces like Acquire.com. Acquisition is giving entrepreneurs a new path to success. You no longer need a fund or a finance degree - just sweat and a laptop to start buying cash flowing businesses. Small deals. Big returns. Real numbers, real lessons — no VC fluff.

I Interviewed Europe’s Top 7-8 Figure M&A Entrepreneurs

In this video, I sit down with some of Europe’s top 7–8 figure M&A entrepreneurs, operators, and fund managers to unpack how they source deals, close acquisitions, and build exceptional companies.

These conversations were filmed at Rollup Europe, a first-of-its-kind community for serial acquirers.

RollUpEurope is building the home base for Europe’s buy-and-build ecosystem: a place where operators, investors, searchers, and private equity professionals come together to share playbooks, learn from each other, and collaborate on live opportunities.

Their events bring together some of the sharpest minds in acquisitions. I was fortunate to attend their event this summer, where I captured interviews with some of the attendees.

We dive deep into:
• What they’re building right now
• Their biggest deals- acquisitions and exits
• Lessons from their rich acquisition journeys
• How Europe’s acquisition entrepreneurship ecosystem is evolving

The insights shared at the event were exceptional from sourcing playbooks to integration strategies to operating frameworks.

If you’re in M&A, search funds, private equity, or simply fascinated by buying businesses, this video is packed with practical value.

A little background on Pocket Fund: We run both a holding company and a buy-side advisory practice. We’ve acquired several software businesses ourselves and now help private equity funds, searchers, and individual buyers with everything from deal flow and negotiation to due diligence and closing.

This video is packed with practical insights for anyone in the acquisition ecosystem and equally valuable for founders and startup enthusiasts.
