Acquisitions · Joe Weber

If you got a note from me, this is who sent it.

I buy and operate one established business at a time. I am one person with my own name on the email, not a firm working a list, and this page exists so you can check that before deciding whether to write back.

Everything below is what I would tell you on a first call.

DreamSpark Partners is the acquisitions arm of DreamSpark Holdings — dreamsparkholdings.com.
Who I Am

An operator, not an investor.

I am Joe Weber. I spent fifteen years in medical devices and the last eight in healthcare software, including VP and Director roles at Boston Scientific and Haemonetics, where my teams built a remote-monitoring platform watching over a million patients a day.

I led Tribute Technology through rapid growth to a $1.24B sale to The Carlyle Group, and took MatrixCare from a stalled legacy vendor to the #1 KLAS-ranked provider in its category, growing it tenfold to a $750M sale. Three companies I have run reached #1 in KLAS across four categories.

MBA, Carlson School of Management. BS Engineering, Marquette. Based in Stillwater, Minnesota.

I am buying a business to run, not a position to exit. That shapes every term I am willing to offer.
What I Am Looking For

One business, held for the long term.

Earnings
$1M to $3M of EBITDA, with a sweet spot of $1.5M to $2.5M. Consistently profitable. Not turnarounds, not distressed situations, not startups.
Durability
Products or services customers cannot easily cut or defer, with something that makes the business hard to replace: proprietary IP, switching costs, a real niche, or a reputation earned over decades.
Customers
A diversified base with contracts, repeat orders, or genuinely sticky relationships.
Geography
Nationwide, with priority in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona.

Industries I know

Healthcare & MedTech — devices, RCM, specialized services B2B services — professional, compliance, facility management Niche & light manufacturing with proprietary IP Precision equipment repair & field services Vertical software & B2G

Not a fit: retail, restaurants and hospitality, real estate, startups, or distressed turnarounds.

What This Is Not

The things you are right to ask about.

What would not change if I bought your business: the town it operates in, the people who work there, and the name on the door.

Getting in Touch

A conversation costs you nothing.

If selling is years away, or not something you have ever seriously considered, the offer still stands. I am glad to talk about the industry itself and what I am seeing in it. Owners who never sell me anything are often the best conversation I have all month.

Anything you tell me stays private. I do not disclose that we have spoken, and I will sign an NDA before any details change hands.
