Michael Girdley (@Girdley), Bill D’Alessandro (@BillDA), and Mills Snell (@thegeneralmills), we talk about an independent pet supply rep company in Alaska and Oregon. On the other hand, we looked at a second deal from a failing startup currently being sold on micro-acquire by Andrew and his team. Here we will figure out what they do, how the business works, and identify the Pros and Cons of the two deals.
