In this episode of The Deal Podcast, Joshua Wilson sits down with seasoned M&A operator, investment banker, and family office founder Jude David. Jude shares his full-circle journey, from corporate attorney to sell-side advisor to full-time buyer, offering unique insight into what it’s like sitting on every side of the deal table.
Jude breaks down the evolution of mid-market transactions, the real mindset shift from billing hours to building equity, and how to spot strategic arbitrage opportunities across industries. Whether you’re a founder exploring an exit, a buyer building through acquisition, or a dealmaker learning the ropes, this is a must-listen masterclass in private market transactions.
Learn how to identify bolt-on growth, understand what financial buyers really want, and structure deals that multiply value. Jude also walks us through managing deal confidentiality, structuring competitive processes, and setting realistic expectations with sellers without the hype.
