6 months ago, I bought CopyCopter from @ky__zo through Acquire for a mid 4-figure amount. MRR was super low, but I saw potential. Scaled it up, added more features, grew the revenue, and sold it for 7x what I originally paid.
Not bad for 6 months of grinding.
Had to sell earlier than planned, cash urgency & the reality that B2C AI startups are tough to raise money for. Most investors want SaaS with predictable B2B revenue.
Now gearing up for my first AI B2B startup. 🚀
Huge thanks to @Necmttn , @osmeoz, @dari_codes for the dev work, and @vvschiesser + CS team for handling content & customers. Couldn’t have done it without you guys.
Also, shoutout to @acquiredotcom @agazdecki, who made buying & selling a SaaS business a smooth process.
This journey was full of lessons:
• AI video space is hyper-competitive now 🏎️🔥
• Most investors won’t touch B2C AI SaaS 🚫💰
• Sometimes, an early exit is better than chasing funding 💨🏃♂️
• Always trust your gut when choosing buyers 🤝🔍
Excited for what’s next. On to the next one. 🚀🔥

As Thanksgiving ends, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the journey that brought us here and the people who’ve made it possible.
For our founder, @sophie_ean, this season of gratitude has been a powerful reminder of why she launched @Fulltilt_Talent: fulltilttalent.com/blog/why-…

Tacos 🤝 Founders ＝ Good times.
I think @agazdecki's house will be too small for the next one... How do founders feel about us renting out a hotel somewhere instead?
If we get enough interest (answer our poll)... you just might see an invite come through 👀
Do you remember our Taco Bout Founders event during SaaStr last year? If you don't, here's a little visual recap:

Rainier is one of the most knowledgeable guys I know on all things acquisitions (and beyond).
He's our lead speaker for @acquiredotcom's monthly Deal Reviews as well, so check him out in action there as well: blog.acquire.com/tag/deal-re…
Strategically priced startups get better offers.
Let’s be clear: strategic pricing ≠ selling for less.
We sat down with M&A Advisor, @NNNdigitalnomad who has 10+ years of acquisition experience to share his wisdom on pricing for success.

This is funny because it’s too real. If your work week was full of useless meetings please bet on yourself and build a startup.

Pay 4% closing fee when you get acquired.
If you don’t sell your business,

If you’re looking to sell your company, there is only one choice @acquiredotcom
Roger retweeted
Seriously - there is GOLD in "failed startups" that no one is talking about and if you're willing to dig in, you can get insane returns.
This is why I love @acquiredotcom because they finally took the work out of finding these companies.
If you're interested in rebooting or accelerating an existing startup - WATCH THIS. Me and @agazdecki get super honest about how it's done.
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 (@wilschroter), founder of @startupscom 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 @startupscom 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 isn’t just getting started – he’s been doing what he does for decades.
