About Travis

Travis Lynk is an operator-turned-entrepreneur seeking to acquire a single small business in Central North Carolina. He is searching full-time and ready to move quickly with committed capital.

Travis grew up in Greensboro, NC and graduated from UNC Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. He started his career at the consulting firm Accenture in Washington, D.C., where he worked with the US Postal Service on mailing technology. He then joined TechnoServe where he did a volunteer stint in West Africa, working on poverty reduction initiatives related to farming. Next, he headed to Atlanta and Miami where he opened two of Uber’s first markets, spending 5 years building the driver network at the fastest-scaling startup to date. Keeping with the rideshare theme he joined Buckle as their first operations hire, launching a vehicle insurance product that addressed the unique needs of gig-economy workers. Most recently he worked at SFR3 Fund, one of the largest private real estate rental funds, optimizing the performance of nearly 10,000 homes across the Southeast.

Travis brings to the table extensive experience in leadership, strategy, data, and field operations. He is now ready to take the reins and provide a succession solution to the right owner.

Why sell to Travis?

  1. A true partner: You need assurances that I’m the right person to work with before, during, and after the deal. We will build rapport from Day 1 to establish transparency and ensure a mutually rewarding transaction.

  2. Long-term time horizon: Your legacy is now my new life. I’m going all-in on the day-to-day operations, your customers, your employees, and the community.

  3. Efficient deal process: I have a seasoned deal team on standby to help us navigate legal matters, accounting, and due diligence. This team specializes in middle-market deals, closing dozens per month with no tire-kicking and no Wall Street tricks.

  4. Flexibility: I’m committed to a transition based on your needs. Options here could include shifting your responsibilities, retaining equity, or departing completely.

  5. Future of the business: My priority is to ensure your business continues operating as it currently does, while I bring new energy and a tech-forward skill set to enable expansion and modernization.
