In this episode of Private Equity Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore the wave of private equity investment in freight brokerages. They discuss why these middlemen of the shipping world have become attractive targets, using the example of a mid-sized brokerage that was recently acquired by a PE firm. The conversation covers the appeal of asset-light models, the role of technology in modernizing the industry, and what this consolidation means for shippers and independent brokers. Lucas also breaks down the typical deal structure and how PE firms are betting on the continued growth of e-commerce and supply chain complexity. Tune in for a smart, specific look at a niche corner of the logistics market that's quietly becoming a PE favorite. #PrivateEquity #FreightBrokerages #Logistics #PEInvesting #SupplyChain #AssetLight #Transportation #Middlemen #ECommerce #TechDisruption #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Consolidation #DealStructures #Shipping #Investing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
