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

I love technology, surfing, and snowboarding.

I really wish I were hopping on a plane to Japan right about now. I just saw a forecast that Lotte Arai is absolutely getting dumped on with snow, and my brain immediately went into powder dream mode. 

Imagine just endless, fresh, bottomless turns, getting face shots all day long until your legs are screaming, then hitting up some incredible hot springs.

It's the whole vibe, the culture, the sheer magic of a Japan winter trip that's calling my name.
