It was roughly about 9.45 am. I just finished breakfast & opened my laptop to finish setting up @immerzyve's shop on PUBlish. I get a whatsapp call from a founder i helped with a little while ago. He GOT AN ACQUISITION offer.
He asked to be on the call with him. It was scheduled in 15 mins from then. I've never been on one myself. But he trusted me. He could rely that my experience with startups could help him. I felt fortunate for that opportunity. Without wasting time, I quickly prepped him with what i knew & set him up for the call.
I let him lead and jumped in the moment i felt authority was slipping. The goal was to have leverage. He built an amazing customer acquisition funnel that was waiting to try his product. He figured out the distribution game that a lot still struggle with. I just had to resurface that fact in several ways with stats & numbers to hold the frame. It lasted an hour & has resulted in a follow up meeting tomorrow.
My gut says they won't be the right buyer for this. But who cares? The founder has enough demand built up that he will land a deal sooner or later.
My goal was to be there on the side of Entrepreneurs at all times & this felt like true validation. I'm grateful for such incidents in my life. Only Entrepreneurship makes this possible.
Now back to finishing up setting @immerzyve's shop.
