readwise is so good that even though I LOVE physical books, I don’t buy them anymore. They wouldn’t get into my Readwise notes, which is now a crucial part of my daily workflow.

I’ve watched that video probably over a dozen times since I first saw it on Kottke. This makes me sad.

I sold my Bible app company a few years ago, and it was mostly a PITA (e.g. took 7 months for a relatively small deal)

Now I acquire small SaaS businesses at CapitalAcademy.org and make it a point of making the process as painless as possible.

If you have any interest in selling or just want to learn about the acquisition process feel free to say hi, [email protected]

This is not true. Prices vary widely, and 2-3x is definitely within range of prices you'd see selling through brokers.

The price also depends on the product/company itself: how stable are revenues, what's churn, how diversified are traffic sources, etc.
