Hi, I'm Michael

Since 2014, I’ve been Acquiring, Operating, and Selling Indie-Sized (Sub-$5M) Online SaaS/Software Businesses, Projects, and Companies

About Michael

After 18 years as a Software Engineer, Architect and Technical Consultant, I pivoted my IT career to acquiring online Software/SaaS companies a decade ago.

Today, my experience educating software developers and IT professionals on how to use digital acquisitions as their next career evolution has been featured in multiple of media outlets including FE International, Indie Hackers, and Empire Flippers.

This site is dedicated to liberating fellow engineers and IT professionals from the disillusionment of traditional employment and educating them on how digital acquisitions can, and likely should, be their next career evolution.
