The Opportunity Ep.9: The Complete Guide on Private Equity’s Growth in Online Business

In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, we will be speaking with Alex Champagne, the Director of Sales here at Empire Flippers. Alex sat down with us to discuss the rapid-fire changes private equity (PE) is bringing to the online business space.

Alex goes over the earliest days of Empire Flippers and PE and how we went from fear of getting burned on early deals to transacting easily with the influx of PE buyers. Around 15-20% of our deals are currently with PE buyers, meaning they’re a force to be reckoned with. Alex lays out how sellers can best prepare if they want to catch the attention of PE, why private equity is making huge gains in the online space, and how an “overnight” market shift is going to dictate how we do business moving forward.

Sit back, grab a coffee, and get ready to dive deep into PE’s takeover of digital assets.
