E40: Amazon's RaaS Vision and PE's HVAC Obsession

In E40, Localogy senior analysts Charles Laughlin and Mike Boland return to explore two rather divergent topics.

Mike starts the show off with an update on Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, which makes it possible to fill a basket in a store, and just walk out with the goods, and pay for them electronically. The analysts kick around why this hasn’t yet revolutionized retail.

Charles then shared details of a story he is working on about a private equity group rolling out local home services companies, offering a viable exit opportunity for local plumbers nearing retirement age.
