Operators who back the next generation of CEOs.
Founder-led. Selective. Built for the long term.
Ruddify is a search-and-acquisition platform that helps selected MBA and Executive MBA candidates become CEO and majority owner of an established, cash-flowing service business after graduation.
We are founders, not recruiters. Rohit and Kristi have personally acquired and operated 12+ businesses since 2020 and exited a high-7-figure portfolio in 2025. We meet candidates at career conferences, screen them carefully, and stand behind the path we are offering.
Not another consulting booth.
A real third door for your members.
Ownership, not employment
Candidates graduate into the CEO seat of a real business they own — not into another two-year analyst program.
Founder-staffed booth
Rohit and Kristi staff the table themselves. Every conversation is operator-to-operator, not pitch-to-resume.
Real follow-through
Every serious candidate we meet gets a personal response within five business days. No black-hole inbox.
Who your members should send our way.
We’re selective by design — not by prestige.
From booth conversation to CEO seat.
Meet
We meet candidates at your conference — booth, panel, or 1:1.
Apply
Serious candidates submit a short application after the event.
Interview
A founder-led conversation to test fit, motivation, and coachability.
Train
Selected candidates enter the operator training track pre-acquisition.
Acquire
We help structure, finance, and close the right business — they run it.
Majority operator equity, with capital partners behind them.
Illustrative only — every deal is underwritten on its own merits.
Ruddify and partners contribute the equity down payment so the operator isn’t personally writing a seven-figure check.
Long-amortization, SBA-backed senior debt secured against the acquired business’s cash flow.
The candidate operates the business as CEO and majority owner with real, vesting equity skin in the game.
A serious seat at your career conference.
