Couldn't be more bullish on Equal Parts and Michael Witte, congrats on the $23m Series A and pumped to have Inspired Capital and Mark Batsiyan join the cap table. Max Ventures is a proud day zero investor. I’m generally skeptical of the VC trend of “roll up businesses + deploy AI = venture returns,” but Equal Parts is both a compelling exception and an illustrative use case for how this strategy can work. 1) Real operating results, quickly. Since founding in March 2025, Equal Parts has driven ~40% revenue growth across acquired agencies and nearly 50% bottom-line improvement. Independent insurance agencies are deeply under-served technologically — but these gains are still very notable by any standard. 2) Platform, not just roll-up. Their operating platform gives agencies shared infrastructure and automation that accelerates scale. It also supports new agency formation and spin-outs from large carriers — creating a broader ecosystem effect. At scale, this starts to look like a “Shopify-ication” for independent insurance businesses (h/t Ryan Darnell for the framing 😁). 3) Timing tailwinds. The industry faces a generational transition, with roughly half of agency owners expected to retire in the next decade. Equal Parts provides an exit path that preserves culture and autonomy while upgrading operations — increasing both acquisition supply and tech adoption among next-gen owners (who are hopefully more apt to adopt tech). 4) Team Quality. Michael Witte, Mike Meller and Graham Yennie are exceptional operators — which is ultimately what makes a thesis like this executable. Takeaway an AI-enabled roll-up winning strategy: (a) a structurally under-served industry, (b) a real operating platform that benefits acquisitions, existing businesses, and new entrants, (c) demographic tailwinds, and (d) of course high-caliber operators = 🚀🚀🚀. https://lnkd.in/dzxQR2s2
