Acquiring a business to lead, grow, and build something that lasts
I am Devin Hedgepeth, founder of Achilles Healed Co.— a personal and long-term effort to acquire and lead a small business or franchise. I bring an operator’s mindset, a people-first approach, and a track record built through challenge and growth. This isn’t about flipping a company—this is about honoring what’s been built and helping it grow.
Why the Achilles Healed name?
The name comes from my personal story — I was a Division I football player on track for the NFL until I suffered three consecutive Achilles ruptures that ended my career. What followed was a total reset of my identity, rebuilt through resilience. Achilles Healed isn’t just a reference to recovery—it’s a mindset. It reflects how I approach leadership, business, and life: with strength shaped by adversity, and a commitment to grow what others have built.
