What You'll Leave With
Your M&A Instructor

Peter Lang
Founder, Digital Agency Business
Peter founded DAB to teach other agency owners the M&A playbook he wished he'd had from day one.
His mission: demystify agency M&A and make it accessible to ambitious operators at every stage.
What Past Event Attendees Say
"I've done acquisitions, invested in searchers, raised a fund, etc., but this was the most valuable single-day professional development experience on M&A I've ever had.
Most people share 101-level stuff; Peter was selective in who he had in the room, allowing him to go straight into 202 and 303-level advanced material. Check out his stuff, he's the real deal." — Grant Hensel, Founder, Nonprofit Megaphone

"After attending the lab and receiving a playbook, I feel very differently. It was a mindset shift I had to go through, moving from operator to owner. After talking to people like James Kwon, Tristan Pelligrino, Mark Homer, Corey Quinn, and many other very honest and open people in the room, they've changed my mind that growing through M&A's is an excellent way to: Bolt on talent, revenue, diversity in products, and more security and opportunities for my team. Great event! Worth every penny."
— Matthew Hunt, Founder of Demandii.com
"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
"I came in working on active deals and left with nonstop insights on structuring them for a better outcome. The sourcing framework alone changed my pace—I can now go outbound and get the right owners to raise their hand. This Lab expanded my thinking: one deal a year is too small. I’m targeting one per quarter and I can see the path to get there.”
— Kevin Wilke, Founder of Proven Marketing Solutions
