About Tyler

Bio.

Short bio

Tyler Murdock is the founder of Aligned Profit, a proprietary M&A sourcing firm for funded buyers. After building deal-sourcing systems for 55+ business brokers (2,300+ seller engagements, $130M+ sourced, $35.6M closed), he's now bringing the same system directly to buyers: funded searchers, independent sponsors, and family offices who want to close off-market instead of competing in auctions.

Long bio

Tyler Murdock is the founder of Aligned Profit, a proprietary deal-origination firm for funded buyers in the lower middle market. He came to M&A not from banking but from sales (corporate, dental, and healthcare go-to-market), where he learned to turn cold lists into real conversations with decision-makers.

Beginning in 2023 he built and ran sourcing for 55+ business brokers nationally, generating 2,300+ seller engagements, $130M+ in deal value, and $35.6M in closed transactions. After watching brokers bid on the very deals they were hired to sell, he restructured around buyers: same methodology, cleaner incentives, one client per segment, and a 90-day performance guarantee.

What Tyler talks about

Signature topics.

Topic 01

Buying before the banker

How off-market deals close 14–21% below auction prices, and how operators beat PE without outspending them.

Topic 02

The part of acquisition nobody does for you

Why sourcing execution, not information or financing, is the real bottleneck for searchers and SBA buyers.

Topic 03

Outbound that actually works

The "starving crowd" method: finding intent signals and turning a cold list into 200+ replies in a week.

Topic 04

The broker-to-buyer pivot

The incentive conflict inside the brokered model, and why he rebuilt his whole business around it.

For hosts

Soundbites.

"Broke buyers buy on price. Wealthy buyers buy to mitigate risk."

"Information was never the bottleneck. Sourcing execution is, and that's the part nobody does for you."

"The owner who met you before the banker isn't running a process. He's having a conversation."

"A broker whose fee depends on the deal closing has pressure to close a deal, not surface the right one."

Ready-to-tell angles

Story bank.

"My son was 2 months old. My cards were maxed. Then one email changed everything."

"Gary Halbert said find a starving crowd. So I built a list of 2,000 dentists." Fired and broke, he scraped a public Invisalign directory, sent one email, and got 200+ replies in a week. The origin of the whole methodology.

"I got fired for poisoning the sales floor."

Built an automation that 3×'d his output in three months, then got fired for teaching it to the other reps. The lesson: skill without your own structure is labor for someone else.

"She said not now. Eight months later she called back."

Why the best off-market deals come from patient cultivation, not pressure, and how a "no" today becomes a clean deal later.

"I didn't know the broker was buying the deal."

The conflict of interest that ended his broker era and triggered the pivot to buyer-side sourcing.

"PE already eats everyone's lunch. I built this for the buyers who don't."

Why he refuses to source for big private equity, and who actually deserves to win these deals.

From a $234K cleaning company to an $18M machine-shop LOI.

Real off-market deals across the spectrum, with zero auctions.
