Hi all - when I started Road To Carry, the goal was simple: help more people move from investing in businesses… to actually owning them.
Over the past year, we’ve built a community of private equity professionals, operators, and entrepreneurs exploring buy-and-build entrepreneurship.
Now, we’re bringing that community into one room.
I’m excited to announce the inaugural 2026 Serial Acquirer Conference, taking place on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 in New York City.
This is not a traditional private equity conference. This is a room built for:
HoldCo founders
Buy-and-build operators
Independent sponsors
Mid-career PE professionals actively exploring ownership
The investors who back them
If you’re serious about building—or backing—serial acquisition platforms, this is the room you want to be in.
Who You’ll Hear From
We’re bringing together leading voices across the modern serial acquisition ecosystem, including:
Cameron Perkins — Partner, Shore Search Partners
Robert Brown — Managing Partner, Reef Pass Investors
Bryan Rand — Founder & CEO, Rand & Co Holdings
Rich Littlehale — CEO, Telos North (Co-Founder, Westerly)
…along with many other top active investors in the ecosystem in attendance.
These are practitioners:
- Operators who have executed dozens of acquisitions.
- Investors who have backed repeat platforms.
- Builders who understand what it actually takes to scale.
What Makes This Different
Most conferences just talk about private equity. This one is about becoming an owner.
You can expect:
Tactical insights with real takeaways
Candid discussions around platform building, capital, and scaling
Extended networking over lunch, coffee, and happy hour
Direct access to operators, partners, and investors who are actively building and funding platforms
We are intentionally keeping the room small to ensure meaningful conversations and real relationship-building.
Who This Is For
Current or aspiring HoldCo founders
Buy-and-build platforms at any stage
PE funds, family offices, and capital providers backing acquisition entrepreneurs
Advisors deeply embedded in the ecosystem (M&A, legal, consulting)
If you’re thinking about—or actively building—a serial acquisition platform, you should be here.

Road To Carry has always been about building alongside each other, not stopping at just consuming content.
This conference is a natural extension of that mission. Hope to see many of you there!
Best,
