On this episode I talk with Ryan Kaufman from the boutique website brokerage DigitalAcquisitions.co Ryan has a couple different divisions at Digital Acquisitions: Traditional sales side brokerage model where work with owners closely to improve valuations and then list and prepare the marketing material to get the highest offer. Buy side concierge service where the buyers are larger funds, VCs, sometimes high net worth individuals who are looking for a specific asset to acquire For their buyer network they have found it easier to work with ecommerce and SaaS due to the nature of content / affiliate sites where the founder can be heavily involved in terms of branding or operations. On the sell side the objective is to get as many buyers so can be bidding; on the buy side the concierge client is the exclusive client they source deals for as a third party acquisition team where any deals discovered are exclusive to them. If they pass on those they have a secondary network of buyer representation clients. Full show notes at >> https://richardpatey.com/digital-acquisitions

On this episode, I talk with Mark Daoust from Quietlight Brokerage. Mark started his first website site-reference.com in 2004 as an SEO play as a resource for website owners and online marketers to share information and publish blog posts. It soon turned into an email play leveraging a second site to build a list of over 200k subs (with almost 1k new subs a day) monetized through ads in the newsletter. He sold it in 2005 through an online broker. Show notes >> https://richardpatey.com/quietlight-brokerage/
On this episode, I talk with Justin Gilchrist from Optimum Feedback. Show notes >> https://richardpatey.com/optimumfeedback Justin started Centurica back in 2012/13 with Bryan O’Neil (who is now over at the online website brokerage quietlightbrokerage.com) as they saw a need to protect people from fraud from unethical sellers who were misrepresenting their sites. Bryan was the original founder of FE International with Thomas who left to start Centurica. Justin & Joe set up Empire Flippers (then Adsense Flippers) around that time too. Bryan contacted Justin to help start Centurica to systemize due diligence. Justin started in online business as a graphic designer in 2003/4 when a lot of offline companies were working out that ecommerce would be big for them. He built sites for them but found that they expected traffic to just turn up so he reached out to a company who he built the site for and bought it back off him and added new content to top performing pages. We discuss how SaaS companies consider their asset price in terms of multiple of revenue rather than profit and ask for insane valuations. After Justin sold Centurica he also sold all of his portfolio sites apart from a supplement e-commerce site for cashflow, in order to focus on his SaaS Optimum Feedback.

He needed a location independent revenue stream to move onto his life's purpose helping to make the arms race of intelligence as non-confrontational as possible. He shares Elon Musk's views that a merger with machines is inevitable. We talk about the impact of AI on the future or work and (the end of) jobs as well as marketing (the link he mentioned).
On this episode I talk with my long time buddy Kevin Koskella from his latest startup useworkhero.com I met Kevin back in 2013 when I was living in Boulder, CO and finishing my book from the coffee shops there and he interviewed me on his Freedom Lovin Podcast. We talk about Kevin's new business at the end but 80% of this chat was about cryptocurrencies (check out my post on how to get started buying altcoins) and initial coin offerings (following on from the crypto chat with Frank in episode 16). We recorded this conversation the day after the Segwit2x Bitcoin hard fork was canceled and after I'd been doing a lot of trading!
