Whether you’re a coder or not, most of us feel disillusioned from so many attempts to start our own businesses that only led to failure, frustration, and a lack of fulfillment.
And when you don’t know how to get into the acquisition game successfully, it can lead to giving up and just staying at your corporate job for the entirety of your career.
After 18 years as a software engineer – and a decade of buying and operating SaaS companies – I can attest that there is a way to make the transition while also minimizing the risk.
I’ve always aimed to teach the acquisition process as straightforward as possible and address the common questions people often have when exploring this career option. I’ve tried to capture that process in my Online Business Acquisition Framework above.
Yet, I understand the distinction between generic ‘information‘ and customized, tailored responses to your own personal situation.
Advice specifically tailored to your needs can significantly reduce the time spent on research and save you a substantial amount of money.
If you have “done the research”, and still can’t find answers specific to your situation, I am available to help through both Advisory Calls or a half day Strategy Session
These options are great for situations where:
You need deeper dives into very specific questions or topics.
You need some clarity or guidance on a specific acquisition framework pillar.
You want to know what NOT to do.
I’ve designed two straightforward options to kickstart your journey towards purchasing an online company or, at the very least, crafting a strategy to make it happen.
I know how much learning about online acquisitions changed my life.
I went from the career of a very average engineer and consultant to an independent owner, narrowly focusing on projects I loved working on every day.
No meetings I didn’t want to attend.
No MVP’s that went nowhere.
The transformation in my life was like night and day when I discovered a career that had me eager to get out of bed every morning and dive right in.
Despite my private and introverted nature, my mission is to openly share my experience and connect with others who are also looking to transition to a similar next phase in their careers.
After completing a nearly two-decade career as an engineer, developer, and consultant, Michael’s transition into online business acquisitions transformed his career into one he had only dreamed of – a life of autonomy, independence, and fulfillment.
Today, a decade after acquiring his first six-figure company, Michael is on a mission to help fellow engineers learn how online business acquisitions can (and probably should) be their next career evolution.
I’m the owner & operator of multiple software companies that I’ve been fortunate enough to acquire from successful founders over the past decade.
My mission is to help Founders Exit their profitable software companies (on the best terms) and educate Senior Engineers about how to Acquire their own indie-sized Software / SaaS companies.
