Startup Acquisition Stories Ep #112 | Making $250,000 on His Second Sale on Acquire.com
Manage episode 440754019 series 3357653
Nico Jeannen just made a quarter-million dollar sale a couple weeks ago with the acquisition of his transcription product, Talknotes.
It’s his second sale after a string of roughly 17 startups that have seen increasing success.
Here’s how he made TalkNotes.
One day, Nico was trying to get Google to transcribe a voice note for him when he noticed the quality was poor. He crafted a prototype transcriber using an AI API and posted it on X.com (formerly Twitter) making $700 in just a few days.
He scaled further using his knowledge of SEO gained from previous projects.
Nico realized he didn’t want to spend hours fixing code and doing customer support after one round of bug fixes dipped customer acquisition by 70%. He wanted to sell quickly – before he burned out.
He listed on Acquire and secured an all-cash $200,000 deal in weeks with the help of Ebony on Acquire.com’s support team.
Listen to Andrew and Nico’s interview as they discuss:
- What Nico has learned about startups after building 17 of them
- Why Nico accepted a drastic price cut for his sale
- The dangers of playing buyers against each other
