Buyout Diary

Over Buyout Diary

Buyout Diary is a weekly newsletter for acquisition entrepreneurs, independent sponsors, self-funded searchers, search fund principals, micro PE operators, HoldCo builders, and investors building through small business ownership.

Every Monday at 8:30am CET, one honest idea on buying, owning, and building small businesses lands in 1,000+ inboxes across 40 countries.

Most content on buying small businesses is built for the American market. Europe works differently. The financing, the sellers, the succession dynamics, and the legal structures are all distinct.

Buyout Diary documents that honestly from the inside.

Each issue covers one idea across deal sourcing, seller conversations, financing structures, post-acquisition governance, or the real process of building a HoldCo from scratch in Europe.

This is not about flipping. It is about ownership, stewardship, and building something that lasts.

Founded by Alexander Kelm, Amsterdam.
