How do you sell a SaaS business for 12x revenue while only taking in one major funding round? Loved working with Gary Nowacki, helping build his sales team in the early days. His story is amazing, and I was so happy to see such a large exit after a long run. Check out how Gary and TraceGains created extreme value in a niche industry on the VENTURE 2 VICTORY podcast. The link for the FULL pod conversation can be found in Tim's first COMMENT in his post. #venturecapital #executiverecruiting #SaaS #startups

How do you sell a SaaS Business for 12 times revenue while only taking in one major funding round? Many software companies would dream of an exit that was 12x EARNINGS. But 12x REVENUE? That’s a completely different story! We recently sat down with Gary Nowacki, CEO of TraceGains, who recently sold his SaaS business for $350m. But what’s astonishing is that Gary's large exit was built on a $30m annual revenue run rate. Even more surprising is that TraceGains only raised one significant capital round, primarily through a Canadian private equity firm. In this episode of the VENTURE 2 VICTORY podcast, Gary lays out his blueprint - that secret sauce - for building a dominant NICHE software business, slowly and methodically over time, on limited capital and low dilution. Can you guess HOW he did it? Check out the link in the COMMENTS below for my full interview with Gary on the VENTURE 2 VICTORY podcast! If you’re a software founder looking at the traditional VC cycle of continuous fundraising and dilution, maybe a strategic private equity partnership is an option worth consideration. Listen to Gary’s perspective, and let us know what you think! #venturecapital #privateequity #executivesearch #SaaS #software

Ever wonder how to build a $100MM+ company without creating the next big thing? Episode 2️⃣ is out! Thanks to everyone that liked, subscribed, and shared the last episode [https://lnkd.in/ewMzD9B2] of my podcast Elsewhere Alpha. This week, I talked to Chet K., Founding Partner at IKONA Partners, about raising capital, the market outlook for lower / middle market software businesses, and building a bullet-proof company for a strong exit. One interesting topic we touched on was all the opportunities for software to drive efficiencies in historically inefficient businesses. Think of a problem you have at work that involves a spreadsheet or a manual process. That can become a software application. Will that get you the beach house you've always wanted? Maybe, maybe not...a lot goes into it (which we get into). But the point is that your average worker has a lot of operating expertise that can get packed into a marketable software application. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eatT8JyA
