I built this glossary while writing a book about private equity and venture capital's impact on Main Street businesses.

  181 terms from "Acqui-hire" to "Zombie Company" – the language of leveraged buyouts, roll-ups, value extraction, and financial
  engineering.

  It's designed as a reference for anyone trying to understand why their local restaurant chain suddenly got worse, or why that beloved
   software product became a subscription nightmare.

  Free, searchable, no signup required. Built with pure Rust because I'm paranoid about dependencies.
