This is the layer above the scripts. Everyone's building AI startups. I use AI to buy and roll up the businesses that already print cash — and give away exactly how, because we make our money investing in those businesses, not selling a course.
This is the raw material every video pulls from. Not a bio. The actual why.
I want to give business owners as much value as they'd pay $50k to some AI agency for — because we invest in those businesses. I'll just show you what we do.
I've been a business owner for twenty years. I worked on more than a billion dollars of business transactions as an operator, investor and advisor. I sold Rollups.com to Naval Ravikant's company. I own Acquisitions.com — I had the option to buy Acquisition.com for $70k and passed, figured who'd be crazy enough to buy it when Acquisitions.com already exists.
We rolled up ten HVAC companies, grew it to $5M EBITDA, sold for $50M. Everyone got 2–3× what they'd have made on their own. I earned around $10M from that deal — and try to do three or four like it a year.
We serve thousands of small businesses with their full operating system — leads, sales, ops — so they do the work they're good at. Then we partner, invest, and roll up the ones we like and trust, and exit as a group.
My parents divorced over money. I'm building this so that never happens to the family I want — and to show my mom business is possible, and one day buy her dream house in Tel Aviv.
A failed IPO attempt. Seven investments that never paid a dividend. A crypto loss. I'm ADD — too restless to run one business, so I got involved in many and hired COOs. Specific numbers, specific losses. That's credibility.
"Acquisitions — with an S." Codie owns "buy boring businesses." I own the layer above it: buy them, install AI, roll them up, exit as a group. The AI-powered rollup. I started before the current wave and I have the sell-side and the AI layer most of them don't.
Talk to one person, like a friend you want to see win. Broke-people language attracts broke people — so this is written up, not down.
Stuck at $1–3M, 10–20% margins, taking home $50–200k after tax, reinvesting the rest and ending with nothing. $1–2M is the hardest stage in business. You don't get rich there — you get rich by going bigger: acquisitions, a rollup, or agents. That's who I speak to.
People who want to quit the job and buy their first business. They're fine to get in front of on paid — they feed the workshop. But the long game is the owner. Organic stays owner-only; ads can go wider.
| Lever | What it replaces |
|---|---|
| Deal flow | Grinding for organic growth that never compounds |
| Capital | Thinking you need to be rich, or giving up control to raise it |
| Agents | Hiring a department, staying stuck in sales/marketing/SOPs |
Upgrade from doing just sales, marketing and SOPs — to owning the thing AI runs for you.
Information is abundant. Vibe isn't. Brand is the pairing of two things — pick what I get associated with.
Live like a pensioner while internally still ambitious. Building and growing wealth — quietly, while it looks like a holiday.
Beach, coffee shop, travel, good food, family. Working out, health, spirituality, God. A tech expert who lets his AI agents do the work and takes life lightly — laughs at it, doesn't grind for grinding's sake.
Dreams big. Serious about giving and growing, light about everything else. Believes in something bigger than himself. Into the grind but remembers the point is to play and enjoy. Not cheap, not negative, not too serious.
Every video is one of these. Each names the principle, the recipe, and which existing scripts it covers. This is the map; the scripts are the territory.
TOF1 TOF2 TOF3
TOF4. Gap: we have zero pure origin/vision scripts. This is the one lane with no script yet.MOF1–MOF5 — buy your competitor, everything it takes,
the memorandum doc, four ways to fund it, the first-90-days install.BOF1–BOF6 — one client each: Brandon, Tyler, Leo,
Miriam, Jared, Robert. Each needs the real clip pulled from acquisitions.com/#impact.BOF1 (Brandon, 3 years → $22M) and the
board's own valuation curve. Gap: no dedicated A→B script yet — worth building 2–3.MOF5 and TOF2.
Needs: real screen-recordings — the dashboard, the org chart, the audit tool. That footage is the format.AD1 — "Why I tell people not to buy the $2,000 course."The full library with line-by-line editor instructions lives on /scripts and /editor. This is the index.
The earlier "Organic Vids for Reels" build — two viral formats decoded frame-by-frame plus sourced reference videos — is live at organic-vids.acquisitions-com.workers.dev. That page is the format research; this page is the strategy and the script index. They're companions.
