25 Mar Acquiring Minds: The Birth of a Roll Up | Stephen and Collin Interview
Collin Trimble knew the alarm business, the industry that installs & services a building’s security & fire alarm system, then monitors the building remotely. And Collin saw opportunity there: a fragmented market, high margins, recurring revenue, large exits for blue collar founders. He got excited about buying a security & alarm business (even without knowing what entrepreneurship through acquisition was). He pitched Stephen, who did know ETA and quickly got on board. In today’s interview you’re going to hear the story of the platform acquisition of two entrepreneurs who intend to roll-up a fragmented market in Texas. Also, you’re going to get a great primer on the alarm industry — which Collin & Stephen believe holds opportunity not just for them, but for you.
