What you think selling a startup looks like vs. what it actually looks like

Here’s what most founders assume about startup acquisitions…⁠
⁠
You need to raise millions in VC funding first⁠

Only “unicorns” get acquired⁠

It’s a long, complicated process with lawyers and bankers⁠

You need to scale like crazy before you sell⁠

Only big-name founders get exits⁠
⁠
NOPE.⁠
⁠
You can build a lean, profitable business and sell it without a huge team, a pile of funding, or a decade of hustle.⁠
⁠
And Andrew Gazdecki is living proof.⁠
⁠
