Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Dzmitry Miranovich (https://x.com/dzmitry9). Dzmitry is building a massive roll-up in the veterinary clinic space, currently with over 20 locations!

Many people have ideas about what a roll-up or holdco actually is, but Dzmitry breaks down the real differences and reveals why he chose the roll-up route. We dive deep into what makes a good industry for a roll-up, from market fragmentation and tailwinds to operational value creation and how to actually quantify your runway for consolidation!

• What's the difference between a roll-up and a holdco?
• What key characteristics make an industry ideal for a roll-up?
• How do you calculate an industry's runway for consolidation?
• How does a roll-up's operational value creation drive success?
