I’m here to help founders get acquired on their terms and have fun building along the way.

Acquire.com has helped 100s of startups get acquired and has facilitated $500m+ in closed deals.

Our goal is to build world’s most founder-friendly startup acquisition marketplace. We help turn founder journeys into success stories.

If your business can’t survive without you, it isn’t an asset. It’s a job. I talk to founders every day who are proud of being "in the weeds." They close every lead, ship the critical code, and manage every fire.

In their minds, they are the MVP. 

In a buyer's eyes, they are a single point of failure.

Think about it: If a buyer acquires your company and you walk away, does the engine stop running?

If you are the only one who can sell, the revenue is at risk.

If you are the only one who understands the code, the product is at risk.

Buyers aren't buying you but rather they are buying a machine that prints money. If you are a critical gear in that machine, you’ve just slashed your valuation.

The best thing you can do for your exit is to make yourself irrelevant.

Delegation isn't just about productivity; it’s about increasing your multiple. 

A "turnkey" operation that runs without the founder is worth exponentially more than one that requires 80-hour weeks from the CEO.

My challenge: Fire yourself from one department this month. Build a machine that doesn't need its creator. 

That’s how you get the exit you deserve.

PS - We see the highest multiples go to "Founder-independent" startups at acquire.com. If you’ve built a machine that runs on autopilot, there are over 500,000 buyers on our platform waiting to see it. Speak with our team today: https://lnkd.in/gNtHKz7c

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐈 𝐃𝐎 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔?

I connect businesses with their ideal clients on LinkedIn using data-driven automated outreach. 


𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒?

My process has the following steps:

1. 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡. Should you reach out to clients directly, or look for referral partners? What has worked best for you in the past? Perhaps you want to reach out to new markets? 

2. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬. 90%+ of automated messages on LinkedIn are ignored. What should you say that is honest, direct, and good enough to get a reply?

3. 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡. I put the messaging into motion by creating lists of prospects, setting up the sequences, reporting and A/B testing. 

The biggest benefit is saving 10-15 hours a week growing your pipeline, time you can instead spend closing more deals.


𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐈 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐊 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔?

I create better lists of prospects than you can through LinkedIn because I have access to filters they don't give you like net worth, income and age. 

I can write better messaging than AI because I shorten it to what 10+ years of experience and data tells me works. 

To start the conversation, just reach out to connect and message me.
