What Is The Lab?

Acquisition Lab (or just “the Lab” for short) combines a mastermind, accelerators, coaching programs, and both asynchronous and synchronous trainings all in one – along with the tools, resources and network to succeed.  It is the gold-standard online experience for entrepreneurs and investors who want to own a small business without the messy challenges of founding a start-up.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or have a couple acquisitions under your belt, our
world-class programming and white-glove advisory will provide all the support you need to accelerate your journey.

The Lab offers a lifetime membership for $10,000, providing hands-on support for all your acquisition deals—not just the first one. In many cases, lenders allow this expense to be rolled into the loan so your liquidity will not be compromised. Our members also benefit from a $7k-$10k discount on due diligence services, making this a net-positive investment. 

With the Lab in your corner, you’ll have every imaginable resource at your disposal while
working with a skilled team of advisors who will support you from your initial search to the final close and beyond.

Fast Forward Through the Ugly Start-Up Phase & Learn How To Buy Established, Cash-Flowing Companies

It’s no secret that only about 1 in 10 start-ups make it past their first year. The few who do survive never achieve much worth speaking of.

So why is this? Why haven’t we been able to engineer more sustainability into start-ups? Why is the failure rate astronomically high?

The simple answer is that most young companies are never able to find product-market fit.
The quest for product-market fit is like being blindfolded in a dark forest, digging around on your hands and knees trying to find a four-leaf clover.

It’s uncomfortable, disorienting, and sometimes, completely demoralizing. But what if you could skip this phase altogether?

Engineer Wealth Through
Acquisition Entrepreneurship

Being the owner of a successful business is arguably the best way to build real wealth. 

Effectively 100% of non-retired millionaires own their own businesses. Further, an astounding 91% of everyone with a net worth of over $5M owns their company.

But to become a business owner, you don’t have to create something from nothing. You can start by owning an inherently valuable company and put yourself in the driver seat to increase its value.

Acquisition Entrepreneurship is the ideal choice for most entrepreneurs because it’s an active form of investing that aligns your work with your asset, which allows you to take wealth-building in your own hands. 

The problem is…

Meet Best Selling Author, Walker Deibel

I’m Walker Deibel, founder of Acquisition Lab and author of the bestselling book Buy Then Build.

I created Acquisition Lab because I wish I would have had a curriculum, framework, and advisor network when I began my acquisition journey… but it didn’t exist.

So I literally wrote the book on it.

I started sharing the strategies I used to acquire 7 businesses and 10X my income (all in the same amount of time it took for my first startup to start, grow, and die).

I expected to help a few people. I did not expect to become a bestselling author, for my book to be used in universities around the country, and to be the recipient of multiple awards.

While I’m honored by the praise and acknowledgement for my work, I’m more excited about the success of our Lab members.

Our 900+ Lab Members 
Have Now Surpassed $400 Million 
in Acquisitions

At the time of writing this, our members have acquired over $400M in business value and purchased 200+ businesses. 

When evaluating member success, the bottom line is this: we want to see deals closing.
That’s the metric that matters. Our member-to-acquisition rate is second to none because our curriculum, consulting, and community are world-class. 

Don’t waste countless hours (and dollars) trying to go it alone.
