24 Aug Acquiring Minds: 40 Schools to 130: The Roll-Up 2 Years Later
Today is an update with Jeff Homer, whose first Acquiring Minds interview became a fan favorite. In 2024, Jeff shared how he bought a single $500k-revenue music school and turned it into a roll-up. Two years later, Ensemble has 130+ locations, expanded into adjacent businesses, surpassed $100 million in revenue, and is still growing rapidly. We spend the second half of the conversation exploring what parts of Jeff’s story are actually repeatable: how to identify industries suited for roll-ups, why living inside your first acquisition matters, and how this path is becoming accessible to acquisition entrepreneurs, not just private equity. Jeff is also hosting an Acquiring Minds webinar on September 1st, Financing for Roll-Up Entrepreneurs. Details are in the show notes.Welcome back to Jeff Homer, founder of Ensemble Performing Arts.
