Catherine Gray, host of the Invest In Her podcast, interviews Jeanne Wang, Founder and Managing Partner of Village Search Partners. Jeanne has more than 15 years of private equity investing experience and focuses on helping women acquire and grow established, profitable businesses. She also co-created the Women Searchers Community, a network where women pursuing business ownership can connect, share knowledge, and support one another.
Jeanne explains entrepreneurship through acquisition and why buying an existing business can offer a different path to ownership than starting from scratch. As more longtime owners prepare to retire, she sees an opportunity for women to carry those businesses forward. Jeanne and Catherine discuss what investors look for in an acquisition, how buyers bring together financing, and why the right mentors and board members matter after a deal closes. Jeanne also shares what motivates her work: helping women build wealth as owners and leaders while supporting the employees, families, and communities that depend on their businesses.
