Often it’s prudent to hold off on any announcements before seeing a contract. LOI’s aren’t created equally. Some of them are offers of pure cash while others include other things like stock in a publicly traded company. Even after a signed LOI, many deals fall through. Due diligence is required for the actual exchange of money for a company. Time Stamped Show Notes: 01:00 – If you haven’t caught up already, one of Nathan’s biggest competitors has offered to buy Heyo. 01:26 – One concern is that the offer may not be serious, only a ploy for information. 01:51 – Ken Armijo calls in to offer advice: before taking the buyers seriously, wait until they produce a contract. 03:02 – Nathan plans to obtain LOI’s (Letter of Intent) from companies that might be interested in buying Heyo and leveraging competition to raise its price. 03:17 – Another Top Tribe listener weighs in on what Nathan should do with the company. 04:36 – Nathan called CEO’s to talk about Heyo’s desirability so he could better understand its selling points. 05:06 – Nathan talks with Jim Risner of Votigo, one of Heyo’s main competitors in the SMB space (Small Business Space) about obtaining a LOI (Letter of Intent). 05:51 – With one LOI in hand from Jim, Nathan began emailing other CEO’s to gauge other interest in Heyo. He obtained four LOI’s from interested companies. 06:30 – The LOI’s weren’t created equally – some of them are pure cash and others include stock in a publicly traded company. 07:27 – Jim Risner talks about Votigo and why they would want to acquire Heyo. 09:10 – Votigo’s been thinking about entering Heyo’s space for a while, expanding into the SMB market. Buying the company would be a big head start into the space. 10:21 – Bethany London calls in to express her thoughts that selling Heyo, a long-time dream of Nathan’s, might not be all that it’s cracked up to be. 11:34 – One of Nathan’s friends from Virginia Tech’s Pamplin School of Business offers his thoughts that Nathan may have outgrown Heyo. 13:58 – Nathan signed the LOI - he’s selling Heyo. 14:22 – Many deals fall through even after a signed LOI. 15:21 – Tune in next Monday to find out what happens.
