Episode notes
Lean, AI-Driven Startups Are The New Norm
- Many modern startups operate extremely lean with one founder and heavy automation using AI.
- This shift makes small, profitable businesses common and changes acquisition dynamics.
Target A Few Hundred Thousand In Revenue
- Aim for a few hundred thousand dollars in revenue before selling to attract many buyers and healthy multiples.
- Being profitable at that stage reduces desperation and yields multiple offers.
Many Founders Sell Because They Move On
- Founders often sell because they've moved on rather than pure burnout or urgency.
- The right time to sell is personal: sometimes to cash out, sometimes when passion fades.
