I’m Peter Lang. I buy and build businesses through Lang Acquisitions (my personal investment vehicle), and I teach founders how to scale and exit through Digital Agency Business (DAB).
My proprietary programmatic M&A methodology has helped hundreds of agency owners navigate the complex world of acquisitions, whether they're buying their first agency, building an M&A program within their company, or preparing for a life-changing exit.
I am passionate about making M&A accessible to agency owners who've been told the game is only for big players. Through DAB, he's built a community and system that proves otherwise.

What Clients Say
"I listened to your course, Peter. Thank you for putting together such a great step-by-step guide of like, do this, and then this, and then this. I literally just did what you told me. Your advice made all the difference in getting me through those first calls and ultimately closing my first acquisition.”
— Garrett McClure, Investor, Partner in Born & Bred
“Peter Lang gave me paradigm-shifting advice: start with the end in mind and talk to buyers to understand the market. One of those conversations led to a strategic buyer offering far more than I expected. We signed an LOI and closed the deal quickly. With this exit, I now have the capital to acquire more agencies for a new HoldCo, and Peter’s guidance played a key role in making this happen.”
—Mark Homer, Exited Owner GNGF, Investor
"Peter is an unbelievable individual and is in the top 3% of the smartest people I have ever met. He's incredibly skilled in the category of M&A for agencies and service-based businesses. An incredible benefit of being a part of this community is the incredible brain trust that's formed from really smart people around the table. Peter attracts really smart, amazing people who are running agencies and doing acquisitions. It's absolutely not as competitive as trying to sell agency services. We're talking about strategies and deal flow together."
— James Kwon, Founder and CEO of Figment's Digital Creative
"Peter, he's a master at what he does. I've been trying to get in the game, for the past year. And now, through my conversations with Peter, I have the confidence that I need to go and take action. We talked about a lot of different things, his past, my past, and the current deals that I'm trying to work on. And then he was able to provide me the solution, the path that I need to take, to make sure that the deal gets closed or that I'm able to find a solution to get to the level that I wanna be at.
— Camilo Parra
FAQ
How is working with Peter different from other advisors?
When you work with Peter, you’re getting direct, hands-on guidance from LOI through close, plus his judgment on structure, risk, and negotiation based on real deal reps.
When you work with an M&A Certified Advisor, you’re getting the same DAB framework and templates, supported by Peter’s playbook and an escalation path when needed.
Both options are execution-first. The difference is proximity: Peter’s personal time and decision-making vs. a certified specialist running the system with Peter behind them.
What size agencies do you work with?
Typically $1M–$50M in revenue. Both buyers and sellers across this range.
