概要
 Kyle Poll had built a successful career at LinkedIn and Gympass, but he found himself looking for something more entrepreneurial. With five children, a mortgage, and a comfortable career, leaving his corporate life to search full-time for a company to buy was not an obvious choice. Yet Kyle and his wife had built enough financial flexibility to make the leap, and after nearly a year of searching, he acquired GetOutPass, a subscription-based family entertainment business, and merged it with its primary competitor, PogoPass. In this episode, Kyle shares how his experience in enterprise sales shaped his approach to finding and acquiring a business. He explains why he treated relationships with brokers as a systematic sales effort, how his background at Gympass helped him connect with the sellers of GetOutPass, and how he navigated a deal involving multiple owners with competing objectives. Kyle also discusses the challenges of bringing two competing companies together – including the integration of teams, technology, markets, and cultures – and the lessons he learned during his first year as a new owner. Together, they explore what Kyle’s experience reveals about the importance of financial preparation, understanding the motivations of all parties in a transaction, and approaching acquisition entrepreneurship with humility and persistence. Ultimately, Kyle’s journey shows how the skills and relationships built over a successful corporate career can become powerful assets in the pursuit of business ownership.
