Hi. I’m Rand Larsen.
I build peer groups for SMB Owners. I also host SMB/ETA Meetups all around North America.
SMB/ETA means “Small and Medium Business Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition.” It’s what you do when you buy someone else’s company and grow it. I help people do that with my peer groups.
Currently traveling the USA in a modern camper van.
I’ve started a variety of businesses in the past with mixed results.
