Episode notes

A successful company started with a modest $5 to $6 million in initial equity, where the founders transitioned from running a service business to buying businesses. Over a span of roughly 10 years, the company transformed their startup capital into a $500 to $600 million public company with a portfolio of about 30 businesses. This success story highlights the significant growth potential that strategic investments and business acquisitions can yield.

Episode 573: Sam Parr ( https://twitter.com/theSamParr ) and Shaan Puri ( https://twitter.com/ShaanVP ) talk to Jeremy Giffon about how Tiny Capital turned $5M in equity into 30 profitable companies.
