About Louis Bruno

Early on, Louis Bruno leveraged his passion for investing, scaling businesses, and exiting high-growth companies to achieve success. Dreaming big and confident in his abilities, Louis built his first company right out of high school, generating $3 million in monthly revenue within 30 months and leading to a successful exit in 2019. He then led efforts in the M&A space, driving growth from one to 18 locations in just three years, which resulted in another profitable exit in 2022.

Today, as co-general partner of Platform Partner Holdings, Louis has helped expand the platform to 33 partners and $200 million in revenue within three years, solidifying its position as a powerhouse for operator-led private equity companies.

In addition to building companies, Louis has provided advice to hundreds of owner-operators on management, scalability, and liquidity events. He has helped them optimize profitability and prepare for exits. His passion lies in leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning to transform business operations and enhance owner-operator education, building management teams through daily predictive reporting and data-driven best practices.

Louis is an inspirational speaker, venture capitalist, author, and mentor, dedicated to empowering thousands of contractors as the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Louis’s journey is a blueprint for turning adversity into advantage and vision into results. With no formal business background, he entered the workforce straight out of high school as a technician, but with an unstoppable work ethic and entrepreneurial drive, he developed a highly successful home services company, driving innovation and operational efficiency with Bruno Air Conditioning. He built the business from scratch to $3 million in monthly revenue within 30 months. In 2019, Louis exited the company, transitioning to investment and advisory roles.
