Lauren Mauldwin brings a combination of entrepreneurial experience and M&A advisory expertise to transactions. She specializes in confidential transactions for service businesses including HVAC, roofing, contracting, engineering, flooring, manufacturing, and other skilled trades.

Lauren’s previous M&A experience includes deal execution and go-to-market strategy for founders, with work spanning valuation analysis, sell-side representation, and transaction structuring for both SBA-backed and privately financed acquisitions. Before M&A, Lauren held leadership and marketing roles with pre-IPO startups, where she developed a deep appreciation for customer acquisition, brand positioning, and the challenges of growing a business. She moved into M&A on the sell-side of digital businesses, advising founders across technology, SaaS, digital services, ecommerce, and agencies. As a two-time founder who has built and exited companies in the digital media and consumer wellness sectors, she also understands the business sale process from an owner’s perspective.

Lauren graduated Magna Cum Laude and as a Program Scholar from Loyola Marymount University with dual degrees. She is also a contributing author for BizBuySell’s Learning Center, where she educates business owners and buyers on M&A topics. When she’s not poring over a P&L, you can find her on trail runs, trying new coffee shops, or at concerts singing along off-key.
