What NOBODY Tells You About Selling a Startup

The startup journey doesn’t have to be painful. Let us guide you through the process.

The reason tech startups can secure millions in funding for just a small percentage of equity is the anticipation that eventually, the company will go public or be acquired.

However, selling a company is a lengthy and challenging process—something I wasn't prepared for, and no one warned me about it.

Please post full interviews, the guests were really interesting people and for a lack of a better word, they felt REAL. Like they just spoke their mind out and didn't mind it at all and I really appreciated that.

The most underrated tech youtuber out there. man i really love your videos.. keep it up!

[amindforall]

Love that this channel has other. Startup founders and pretty much is a community of like minded individuals

[sssergiomr]

It would be amazing to learn about how the life of an entrepreneur evolves as their company grows. While they may become millionaires on paper, when do they actually start living like one? And at what point do they start getting invited to the cool parties? Haha!

One good data point here is that if diligence will cost the company $100k no matter the size of the deal. This gives you an idea of what kind of revenue and money in the bank the company needs to have to even go through an M&A. This is why revenues have to be in the millions before this is even viable.

Everytime a Startup team needs to get money (to raise capital or to exit), it's a nightmare. The sinking of costs is a psychological reality, plus the divertion of attention and risk of runway depletion.
Great video, BTW

[larryvelezbx]

Great insights and most importantly it is amazing to see a group of Latinos discussing business at this level! Brings a tear to my eye!

[afolayanmoses]

The image quite depicts the message. It's a bittersweet experience. Tha is for the research work put into making this video

[martybando]

Damn, I needed this. It’s incredible that as the years go on I see your position and it’s inspiring and discouraging like “Wow, he seems like an amazing founder why hasn’t he been acquired yet. I been building a product for years will it really pay off?” but the truth is that they are so many factors to getting acquired it really is BEST to just love what you do, love what you build, and love being a utility to the world. The rest will play out. Cheers mate 🥂

Thank you for having me be a part of this!

Can you guys put the synth bass line on compressor or low pass? It runs into the interview.

[codewithguillaume]

This is a very relevant video, well done. I myself have many entrepreneurs in my circle, and they have indirectly confirmed that everything said here is true: acquisition is absolutely not the dream everyone talks about, both financially and in terms of the process, etc... But the hype still makes you think it's the way haha

[SoloJetMan]

Devrim was great in No Country for Old Men

[DeliaSlucutt]

Wow, it’s so harsh. After all that effort to build it.

[abell]

Going through this process right now. I’m actually glad to hear it’s not just me…

[thedesignfounder]

Went through a similar process. The stuff they are saying is very accurate. M&As are very draining...

[gamereadylyfe]

Can I say I just stopped the video and dropped a small tear when you said a pre seed of 2 million while we are trying to get to 38000

[rotteneggconcept]

Nick Bare from Bare Performance Supplements did a video on his failed Company acquisition a year of dinners, Probes and Auditors for the Final decision to be no, I think What Mark Zuckerburg said if you can't see yourself doing anything else but growing your company in the Direction you want the Money won't be enough

[nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej]

so basically go rock start or go broke.. mediocrity is painful.. just like life
