I'm Kouros Sazegar. I'm not a fund and I'm not a broker. I'm an operator looking to buy a good business, roll up my sleeves, and run it for the long term. If you've built something worth being proud of and you're thinking about what comes next, I'd like to talk.
Most buyers fall into two categories: private equity firms optimizing for a multiple, or individuals who have never actually operated a business. I'm neither. I come from an engineering and operations background, and I've spent my career helping businesses grow and run more effectively.
I'm not looking to flip something in a few years. I'm looking to own and operate a business I can be proud of, take care of the people who built it, and keep serving the customers who made it what it is. Just as importantly, I want to preserve and build on the legacy you've created.
If you've spent years building your business and are thinking about what comes next, the last thing you want is to hand it over to someone who treats it like a spreadsheet. I take that responsibility seriously. I'll work alongside you through the transition for as long as it takes to do it right.
I'm focused on service-based businesses with $300K to $2M in EBITDA. The fundamentals I look for: customers who keep coming back, a team that's been built with care, and an owner who's ready for the next chapter.
I'm open to most service-based industries but have spent the most time looking at businesses in these areas. If yours doesn't fit neatly into a category, that's fine — reach out anyway.
Growing up, I watched close family members build their lives through entrepreneurship. I saw both sides of it: the hard work, the uncertainty, and the sacrifices, but also the pride and genuine joy that come from building something of your own. I saw how employees can become like extended family, how meaningful it is to be in control of your own destiny, and how much purpose comes from doing work that is truly yours. Watching that up close made me realize that, despite the challenges, there is no better way to build a life than through ownership. That belief never left me. From a young age, I knew this was the path I wanted to pursue.
Everything I have done since has been building toward that goal. My time in engineering taught me how operations work at the ground level. At an EV startup, I saw firsthand how critical sales and marketing are to growing a business. I helped build the go to market strategy from the ground up and saw directly how it translated into revenue. At PwC, I learned how to diagnose problems and improve operations at scale. Now I am ready to bring all of that together to run a business I can be proud of for the long term.
I'm backed by a network of CEOs, founders, executives, and investors who bring deep operational and financial expertise across a range of industries.
If you're a business owner thinking about selling, a broker with a deal that might fit, or just someone who wants to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
