Founder’s Journey: Building a Startup from the Ground UpSaving you millions of dollars: asset sale vs stock saleEarlier this year I failed to sell Baremetrics for $5m. But I learned a heaping pile of things from that and one of the biggest things I learned about was the world of asset sales and stock sales. This is about to get real nerdy but this is crucial if you're trying to sell a company. It could literally save you millions of dollars.
2019-12-0300 minFounder’s Journey: Building a Startup from the Ground Up5 things I learned failing to sell Baremetrics for $5mI failed to sell Baremetrics for $5m. While failure is 100% a part of success, it's only useful if you learn something. So, here are some of the things I learned from this little failure. Hopefully these are some things you can apply to your own company (present or future) that can save you a bit of pain.
2019-12-0300 minFounder’s Journey: Building a Startup from the Ground UpI almost sold Baremetrics for $5mIn the past six years of Baremetrics' existence, I've received dozens upon dozens of emails from folks interested in acquiring Baremetrics. When you're running a transparent company that's growing, it just comes with the territory. Generally these conversations quickly fizzle once they realize I'm not even remotely interested in some quick, 1x revenue sale.

I’m done. I’m tapping out. I’m bowing out of the startup rat race. No, we’re not shutting down Baremetrics. Very much the opposite. I’m just finished subscribing to and following the traditional startup mentality as we build our company.

There may be no topic in the world of business that spurs such impassioned responses than self-serve versus manual cancellation of a subscription. Let’s just say the word “evil” gets tossed around a lot.

As a founder, you ooze optimism. It’s a necessary coping mechanism to deal with the volatile up’s and down’s of creating something out of nothing. But that becomes problematic when you’re still finding product/market fit as it makes you believe that next feature will be the feature that solves all of your product’s problems. It won’t.

2016-08-3100 minFounder’s Journey: Building a Startup from the Ground UpHow we increased annual upgrades by 30%When you’re building a business based on recurring revenue, what you want is predictability. The “recurring” part has a pretty strong measure of that, but getting more of that recurring payment upfront reduces churn and improves cashflow, letting you spend more money now to acquire customers faster.
Most companies are very low-touch with annual plans. It’s offered as an option on pricing pages, and that’s usually where it’s left. But you can drastically improve conversions to annual plans by having a slightly higher touch option.
What we see a lot of companies do...

When I first built and launched Baremetrics over two years ago, I charged from day 1. No free plan and no trial. You signed up with a credit card and were charged real actual money. Not happy? No sweat, we had a 60 day money back guarantee.

Okay, so my rainbow leprechaun metaphor is a little weak, but you get the idea. SaaS products are amazing because of how recurring revenue has a compounding affect. That $100/mo customer keeps paying…over and over again. Until they don’t. And that’s where churn comes in and why it’s so vicious to the growth of a company.

And while the business models have all been different, the one unifying factor is they were all 100% bootstrapped to the end.
