I spent a day at Rotterdam School of Management's ETA Conference in November 2025.
240 searchers, investors, and operators showed up.
I took 40 pages of notes.
Then I turned those notes into this 34-page report.
What's inside:
→ Deal sizes: €200K-€500K EBITDA (one tier below US)
→ Valuation multiples by sector (3x-6x EBITDA)
→ 3 financing models compared (with real examples)
→ Searcher case studies: 7 months to close vs 15 months
→ Why you can't live in Amsterdam if you buy in Breda
→ Direct sourcing strategies (how to find sellers without brokers)
→ Mistakes that kill deals before they close
This isn't Stanford theory.
This is what's actually happening in Netherlands, Germany, France right now.
