Tell us your thesis.

We are taking five design partners. Each would receive list #1 and tell us what they would pay for it. That is the whole exchange, and we are asking for something back rather than offering a free trial.

What each side gets

You would get list #1. It has four companies, each with the mechanical classification on its license from the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors. Every accepted design partner gets the same list, and it is not screened against any thesis. Each company comes with a brief of what the board’s record shows: the license, its status and dates, the mailing address as recorded by the board, and the qualifying party named on it. You read it on your own page once it has passed verification.

Coming later: a new list every Monday until the program ends on November 30, 2026, and screening against each partner’s thesis. Neither is part of list #1.

We would get your honest reading of list #1: which companies you would actually look at, and what you would pay for it. Design partners are free until the program ends on November 30, 2026. The $500 a month price comes later, and we would rather hear your number before you anchor to ours.

You can stop at any time and we would rather know why. Changing your thesis is expected, since theses drift during a search. Each version is saved, and from your own page you can delete any of them, or ask us to close your account.

A paragraph is fine. You do not have to answer all of these.

What will help us screen, later

Screening against your thesis is coming later. These answers are saved now, and Jaime Albella reads them.

Parishes or regions

In order of preference. Louisiana is organized by parish.

Sub-sectors you want

Which sectors you want to look at.

Size range

Revenue band, and EBITDA or headcount if you will say. A range is fine.

Deal shape

Check size, SBA or cash, majority or minority.

Which records should we weight?

For example succession notices, license lapses and non-renewals, commercial property transfers, UCC terminations, registered-agent or officer changes. We screen on what the record shows, not on what an owner intends, so tell us which records interest you rather than which mood.

Hard exclusions

Anything you will not look at, for any reason. This saves us both a wasted week.

The part we actually need

Your thesis, in your own words

One paragraph. The list above helps us screen; this is the part that tells us what you are really looking for. If you send nothing else, send this.

Tell us where you found us

Where did you first hear about Bayou Signal?

Anything to add? (optional)

Jaime Albella reads every thesis and replies within two business days, on your own page.

What we do with what you send is set out in what we never do. In short: our team reads it, it is stored with Supabase, we never publish it, and we never name you.

What this is not

It is not a request for an introduction. Nothing you send us reaches a business owner, and nothing on this page asks us to approach one on your behalf. Contacting an owner is one of only two actions in this company that require a human signature, and it is not an action this website can start.

It is not a purchase. There is no payment on this site and nothing is charged.
