How to Build SaaS for an Industry No One Knows About (Except Your Customers)16 Oct 202400:26:49

Have you ever heard of the career readiness industry?


It’s a rarely reported on but active auxiliary industry spanning career coaching and development, edtech, vocational training, higher education, and more.


Just career coaching and development alone is valued at $45 billion.


Harris Osserman founded Talk Hiring originally to turn voice notes into job applications as a B2C career-readiness product. He and his team changed trajectories into the B2B industry when a school district tried to buy them out as an interview prep tool.


On the back of the successful pivot and many timely connections with hiring groups, Harris and his team developed Talk Hiring into a useful job interview simulation tool. Then they spun off a handful of other career-readiness apps when they saw the market was underserved.


However, after the birth of his first child and a move to Atlanta, Harris was ready to sell Talk Hiring and look for something new to spend his time on.


He created an account on Acquire.com and experienced just how effective it was to attract qualified buyers, securing seven offers within weeks. With the help of the Acquire team, he sourced an all-cash deal from a private buyer and closed quickly.


Listen to Harris’ talk with Andrew as they discuss:

  • How Harris pivoted into the career-readiness industry (he did a lot of volunteering).
  • How Harris marketed his product (about five different ways).
  • Why using Acquire.com can help you land a higher sale price.
  • The startup building mistake to avoid if you want to attract buyers financing acquisitions with SBA loans.

How to Build a Profitable SaaS in 6 Months and Sell it in 5 Days25 Sep 202400:20:49

Software businesses can be immensely profitable in very little time. But they can also die just as quickly.


Software engineer Mark Jivko built Go index me!, a tool that speeds up Google page indexing, in six months for a bit of extra cash. He grew it to over 150 regular customers and thousands of dollars in sales in under a year.


But Mark knew building an app that only relied on the Google APIs was playing with fire. It could all be demolished with a keystroke during a system update. He wanted to sell while he was ahead so that he could move onto another project he was more passionate about.


Mark had previously sold a business on Acquire.com and knew he’d find the buyer he was looking for there. He sold Go index me! in one week under the tutelage of his buyer, an eight-time serial startup acquirer who DM’d him almost immediately.


Now Mark is gearing up for a new project to help founders using social media for product distribution to avoid platform addiction.


Tune in to this SASP with Mark and Andrew as they discuss:

  • Mark’s trick to do escrows faster
  • The questions you should never answer from buyers before going under LOI
  • Why Mark knew he was going to sell his tool from the beginning
  • How Mark plans to help founders who use social media reduce their addictions to the platforms

    • And read our writeup of Mark’s story here.

  • How Jeel discovered there was still room in a niche with behemoth-sized competitors

  • How Heel played the SEO game to build hype around InvoiceOwl

  • What Jeel believes is the most important thing to include in your startup sales process

Startup Acquisition Stories With Luke Sheppard, Founder of Revive Ratings26 Mar 202400:39:26

Luke Sheppard recently finished his bachelor’s degree at BYU with a little more spending money and work experience than most grads. He just sold his startup at 23 years old.


While attending university to study business, Luke launched a company called Revive Ratings. It was a marketing SaaS targeted at insurance agencies. He sold it in just over two years on Acquire.com.


To successfully launch his business, Luke took some big risks, like buying a one year $50,000 white-labeled software license while still pre-revenue.


But Luke also had lots of help along the way. His professors and even his competitors were happy to take a young college student under their wing as he learned the ropes.


After years of hard work and the help of the Acquire team, Luke managed to secure his dream exit and pave the road to many more to come. He’s already in the process of acquiring his next business on Acquire.


Post acquisition, listen to a jam-packed new episode of Startup Acquisition Stories Podcast as Luke and Andrew discuss:

  • The unfair advantage of launching a startup while in university
  • Why insurance agencies make great sales targets
  • How Andrew first discovered the idea behind his first successful startup, Bizness Apps
  • The potential timeline delays from SBA Loan buyers
  • Andrew’s college days as a young entrepreneur
  • What Andrew Gazdecki would be doing right now if he wasn’t running Acquire


Luke is just getting started and you can follow along on his journey here:

Startup Acquisition Stories With David Idol, Founder of Computer Mouse For XCloud19 Mar 202400:22:22

In a moment of frustration, David Idol created his first successful Chrome extension, Computer Mouse for XCloud.


In just a few short months, he was making $4,000 per month in revenue and he eventually sold his project for 5-figures.


Here’s how it happened.


David was working at Microsoft for Xbox Live when they launched XCloud, their cloud gaming application. It let players stream games from other devices like computers or phones. 


But David noticed a problem. Gamers weren’t able to play games on their PCs without special controllers. He coded a Chrome extension letting gamers use their keyboards for games on the PC. He posted about it on Reddit and almost overnight acquired thousands of users.


After three months, David added a one-time payment to access his product and reached $4,000 in monthly revenue and over 250,000 users. People around the world wrote him emails and reviews thanking him for the extension. He’d even made it easier for disabled people to enjoy Xbox games.


But though Computer Mouse for XCloud was exploding in popularity, David didn’t feel he had time to keep adding features. He listed it on Acquire.com and eventually sold it to a promising buyer.


Post sale, tune into this week’s episode of startup acquisition stories as David and Andrew discuss:


  • How David went from hacking Xbox games to working for Microsoft
  • Why David’s product name was great for traffic
  • The dangers of potential buyers for Chrome extensions
  • How to transfer ownership of Chrome extensions

Startup Acquisition Stories With Adam Senese, Founder of Linq Commerce12 Mar 202400:17:32

What would you do if you were stuck in a cabin during an Icelandic snowstorm?


Adam Senese and his brother came up with their Shopify app for product bundling, Linq Commerce, trapped in an Airbnb for the day during the dead of the Icelandic winter.


The cofounders went home and launched Linq Commerce in early 2020 right as covid hit the world and people scrambled for new ways to make money online. It ended up being a record year for new Shopify stores. Within weeks, Adam and his brother had over 1,000 users on their app.


Linq Commerce grew steadily from there, but after two years of building, Adam and his brother felt they weren’t the right owners to grow Linq to the next level. It was time to find a buyer.


Adam listed on Acquire.com in late 2022 and sold to a promising buyer for five figures in six months.


Post-acquisition, listen to Adam’s chat with Andrew Gazdecki as they discuss:


  • Why Shopify apps are great for first-time SaaS founders
  • How to find product market fit with any SaaS product
  • The importance of goodwill between buyers and sellers
  • Why sellers should start with a slightly lower asking price if they want a good sale price

This Founder Sold His Startup, Bought it Back for Pennies, and Resold it on Acquire.com for 5 Figures05 Mar 202400:31:50

If someone told you they did what you just read in this title, you’d probably think they’d committed a crime.


But Qayyum Rajan’s good fortune was a surprise twist of fate.


Early in 2023, Qayyum sold his business, ESG Analytics, to a private equity firm. But, his acquirer ran out of money and offered the business back to him for next to nothing a few months later.


Qayyum got back in the driver's seat of his startup, spent $10,000 to redesign its website, and then listed it on Acquire.com for another sale.


ESG Analytics was popular with buyers. Its clients were mid-level private equity firms and portfolio managers who needed to evaluate environmental social good (ESG) performance across large numbers of businesses.


No other tool provided affordable ESG industry reports at the time. Within days of listing on Acquire, Qayyam was pitting a handful of small PE buyers against each other in a bidding war.


He finally sold for five figures, spent 20 percent on a vacation for himself and his wife, and set the other 80 percent aside for savings.


Post-acquisition, listen to Qayyum’s Startup Acquisition Stories Podcast episode with Andrew as they discuss:

  • The huge ESG industry problem Qayyum capitalized on
  • The advantages of selling a business multiple times
  • What founders need to do to increase their sale valuation
  • Why future sellers need to be extra careful when applying for a business credit card

Startup Acquisition Stories Podcast with Wil Schroter, Founder of Startups.com27 Feb 202401:01:17

Most venture-backed startups fail.


It’s a well-known fact, yet many venture-backed founders choose to burn out and ride their dying startups into the ground. Few realize they have options like M&A that could salvage their business for both themselves and their investors.


Wil Schroter, founder of Startups.com knows all about failing startups. He founded nine different startups over 30 years despite one of his first businesses crashing due to lack of capital. When his business failed, Wil was perplexed. A business valued in the millions with happy customers and even profits was still able to fall apart to nothing. It defied logic and he felt the business surely should still be valuable to someone.


It caused Wil to spend years talking to people in San Francisco trying to understand exactly how to sell and buy dying VC-backed startups.


After meetings with over 100 failing VC-backed businesses, Wil created his company Startups.com by buying the assets of six burnt-out VC startups. Since then, he’s made an estimated 50 times ROI from his buys.


Tune in to an extra-special episode of Startup Acquisition Stories with Wil and Andrew as they discuss a topics rarely heard about outside of corporate boardrooms like:


► How to know it’s time to throw in the towel on your VC-backed startup ► How to break the news that you want to leave your startup to your board ► Which types of buyers will want to buy your startup ► How to restructure your startup so that it is as desirable as possible to potential buyers.


Wil’s isn’t just getting started – he’s been doing what he does for decades. Follow his journey at: Startups.com

Startup Acquisition Stories with Dani Parra ibanez and Drilon Sqn, Founder of TrustApps30 Jan 202400:24:53

Working a nine-to-five can be a great launchpad for a successful SaaS application. Just ask Belgian founders Dani Ibanez and Drilon Sqn. Using their industry experience, they created a review application for Shopify called TrustReviews and sold it for six figures. Dani and Drilon look similar (and even finish each other's sentences) but they've pursued very different careers. Drilon is a software engineer and a cybersecurity consultant for the Belgian government. Dani worked in ecommerce marketing, advertising, and media buying for a handful of big-name clients. When they started brainstorming products to build together, Dani remembered his problems with product review apps from his marketing days. Many review platforms were two years behind on features like video reviews, for example. They built their own application and grew it rapidly through word of mouth and listening to customer feedback. They were proud of TrustReviews but when they got wind of a real-estate flip opportunity in Belgium, TrustReviews was the product they owned that was most easily sellable. They hopped on Acquire unsure they could actually sell TrustReviews but ended up closing the six-figure deal in a staggering two weeks. They walked away with more than enough to close their real estate deal. Listen to their talk with Andrew post acquisition as they discuss: ► Why you shouldn’t grow a Shopify app too quickly ► What to do with a windfall of money. ► The best parts of the Acquire.com Escrow.com integration ► A key feature they added to their website that boosted sales ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Be sure to subscribe to see the newest acquisition stories every Tuesday and gain the knowledge to buy or sell your own online business → https://youtube.com/@acquiredotcom?sub_confirmation=1 Want more stories?

Startup Acquisition Stories Ep #112 | Making $250,000 on His Second Sale on Acquire.com19 Sep 202400:27:25

Nico Jeannen just made a quarter-million dollar sale a couple weeks ago with the acquisition of his transcription product, Talknotes.

It’s his second sale after a string of roughly 17 startups that have seen increasing success.

Here’s how he made TalkNotes.

One day, Nico was trying to get Google to transcribe a voice note for him when he noticed the quality was poor. He crafted a prototype transcriber using an AI API and posted it on X.com (formerly Twitter) making $700 in just a few days.

He scaled further using his knowledge of SEO gained from previous projects.

Nico realized he didn’t want to spend hours fixing code and doing customer support after one round of bug fixes dipped customer acquisition by 70%. He wanted to sell quickly – before he burned out.

He listed on Acquire and secured an all-cash $200,000 deal in weeks with the help of Ebony on Acquire.com’s support team.

Listen to Andrew and Nico’s interview as they discuss:

  • What Nico has learned about startups after building 17 of them
  • Why Nico accepted a drastic price cut for his sale
  • The dangers of playing buyers against each other

Startup Acquisition Stories Podcast With Guilhermo Oenning, Founder of Fider22 Aug 202400:18:55

How important is your peace of mind to you?


Brazilian founder Guilhermo (Guy) Oenning built a SaaS business called Fider, monetized it, and let it quietly earn him $1,000 a month for three years. He sold when he realized it was taking up too much mental space that he could use to focus on other, more profitable projects.


After a quick onboarding to Acquire.com, Guy started receiving NDAs within hours of listing. He moved to due diligence with a buyer in two weeks and by four weeks had money in the bank to reinvest into his new projects.


He’s now working on two businesses:

  • Aptakupe, a development tool for simplifying communications with Kubernetes.
  • SEOgets analytics for SEO agents. He says it’s like Google Search Console with more functionality.


Listen to Andrew's talk with Andrew post-sale as they discuss:

  • How Guy pushed free users to monetize (or at least give him a backlink)
  • How the indie hacker community changed Guy’s perspective on building startups.
  • Why Guy thinks a passive business can be a drain on your energy.


Guy is just getting started and you can follow his journey through the links below:

Startup Acquisition Stories Podcast With Jovan Meljevic, Founder of BountyHunter07 Aug 202400:29:34

When you lack the experience and money to scale your agency, what should you do?


Jovan Meljevic created his agency for B2B SaaS businesses, Bountyhunter, when he noticed a shortage of people and agencies experienced in startup growth. His business grew quickly aiding clients with everything from SEO to customer support to product analysis.


Although Jovan was on a good trajectory, after five years he realized his agency needed outside input and money to grow. In late 2023 he decided to sell on Acquire. He listed and was shocked by the number of buyers out there looking for agencies like his.


Jovan closed with an experienced agency buyer after about 5 months. He now works as an employee at Bountyhunter as his business grows around him.


Tune in to Jovan's podcast with Andrew as they discuss

  • Why agencies are in high demand on Acquire.com
  • Why he didn't try to negotiate with buyers
  • When you should consider selling your agency business


Jovan is just getting started and you can follow along on his journey below.

Startup Acquisition Stories with Kjael Skaalerud, President of Skaling Ventures27 Jun 202300:31:18

Kjael Skaalerud is the Founder and President of Skaling Ventures, a Private Equity firm acquiring and operating micro-SaaS businesses. Kjael recently made their first acquisition via Acquire.com and is taking a very cool #buildinpublic approach by sharing in-depth details around building their portfolio starting with this first one.

Kjael jumped on the podcast with Andrew and drops a ton of knowledge around:

► How their venture utilizes a punitive scorecard system to evaluate certain aspects of the acquisition target - ideal valuation multiples, retention rates, growth rates, ideal technical debt range, etc.

► The three pillars of SaaS data sitting in system of records that matter the most - "books, customers, employees".

► What a top-notch seller looks like from how they talk about the business to how clean they've kept their data.

This episode is worth a watch for any buyer looking to acquire their first business and a seller who wants to put their best foot forward against buyers who know what they're doing.
