Helen and the community here were absolutely instrumental in helping me with our first acquisition, a small sewing patterns company: Brindilletwig.com

I love listening to Helen break down her thoughts on different industries, deal structure, financing, etc. I'm learning a ton and it's my favorite call every week.

I'm learning quite a bit and have uncovered tons of great resources through your mastermind group on Thursdays.

Being a part of the SMB Deal Hunter Mastermind community has been a great experience for me. I feel connected to others who are interested in learning and executing their small business dreams. We are able to learn from each other, share deal flow and build better deals by giving each other feedback. Highly recommend!

Joining the SMB Deal Hunter Mastermind was a game-changer for me. The access to top-tier small businesses and the wisdom shared in the weekly mastermind calls with Helen has been invaluable in my acquisition journey.

About Helen Guo (that's me!)

My name is Helen Guo, and after exiting my last business that I started and grew to over $30M+ in 3 years, which landed me on the Forbes 30 under 30 list, I’m now buying cash-flowing businesses and helping others do the same.

I believe that business acquisition is the biggest opportunity in entrepreneurship and investing today for 2 reasons:

  1. Most startups fail because they never find product-market fit. When you buy an established business, you skip the startup phase altogether. You inherit customers, a proven product/service, a team, and can step into cash-flow from day 1.

  2. The largest generational transfer of wealth in history is taking place with baby boomers who are retiring and selling their assets. The Small Business Administration (SBA) estimates that around 10 million baby boomer-owned businesses will change hands between 2019 and 2029.

I also believe there’s enough opportunity for everyone, which is why I started SMB Deal Hunter in April of 2023 to share everything I learn along my journey.

Fast Forward to Today...

I’ve personally helped dozens of fellow business buyers close deals.I’ve also shared hundreds of opportunities with 75,000+ business buyers who read my newsletter every week, including those from

Buying, Investing In, and Operating Small Businesses Is My Passion

Through my experiences, experiments, wins, and failures…I learned the strategies, tactics, and secrets that will help you close your first or next deal.

Most importantly…
