Selling your Startup to a Billion Dollar Company!
In this episode of Founders Weekly, Heini Zachariassen and Theis Søndergaard explore acquisitions with guest Brian Dean, founder of Backlinko and Exploding Topics. They discuss the differences between lifestyle businesses and startups, and the three possible outcomes for startups: retention, IPO, or acquisition. They explain various types of acquisitions-strategic, tuck-in, and acqui-hire. Brian Dean recounts selling Backlinko to SEMrush, starting from the initial email that began the acquisition talks. He provides insights into the valuation process and his role after the acquisition. Dean advises founders on the importance of transparency with buyers, considering higher initial valuations, and having an experienced acquisition lawyer and advisor.

I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time .This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes.
This is just perfect 🤩
Thank ypu Sir
Do you think it's necessary to worry about paying a co-founder or anyone who will work with you when you are starting out and have no funds yet?
Drimfel! Leverage social media engagement to grow your audience and views!
Norplex! Connect with your audience on social media to boost your channels views!
Glintek! Build a community on social media to drive more views to your channel!
So lhave an idea fo it's action

I love this channel ❤️, I had trouble with finding money to build my app, now I have finished my prototyping in figma, I am currently building my MVP in flutterflow. I have a little experience in coding, flutterflow is saving my life, thank for the recommendation.
Great Idea to talk about execution. The key to success is to start NOW but the other key to failure, is to keep wondering if its a good Idea!

lol wtf is this
162.. being pessimistic with 3s and a 2 on the end…. as I still have to actually get the money not just the conversation. First impression was 3s all the way. unique patented product. Registered planned ready to go. Just needs the capital. Ex boss is a vc. I gave conservative projection of 40m over 5 years… wants to know the aggressive strategies projections, regardless of ridiculous numbers. So I Had to simplify from a 67 page by to a 27pg. Initial investment required tripled. I guess they what to know what they can see as a return rather than what is likely as a bottom line.
Fantastic video! The format of two co-founders discussing controversial decisions, and extracting their learnings... is really great!
Thanks Appreciate it 🙏
Loved it! Super practical. One of my favourite episodes. Great format 👍
Thanks, appreciate it 💪
i'm having hard time to belive that there is a single honest comment in the comment section, probably a no-code app making them
👍👍
Fund & Grow has a business credit building program for $3500 where they work with you get business credit. However, that cost is $4000 for two people. If anyone is interested in splitting cost, let me know. That will be $2000 each for a service that can potentially get you 50k - 250k in business funding
