Hi, I'm Michael

Since stepping away from my corporate engineering career in 2014, I’ve been Acquiring, Operating, and Selling Indie-Sized Online SaaS/Software Businesses (under-$5M)

After a decade of experience, I’m sharing what what I’ve learned with other Founders, Entrepreneurs, and Software Business Owners

About Michael

After 19 years as a Software Engineer, Architect, and Technical Consultant, I made the big jump away from Corporate America and into acquiring online Software and SaaS companies.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my experience with other software developers and IT professionals, demonstrating how digital acquisitions could be the next step in their career.

Today, I’m actively acquiring SaaS and software companies, and when they reach a stage where a more specialized team is needed to help them grow further, I sell them to the right acquirer to take them to the next level.
