How important is your peace of mind to you?
Brazilian founder Guilhermo (Guy) Oenning built a SaaS business called Fider, monetized it, and let it quietly earn him $1,000 a month for three years. He sold when he realized it was taking up too much mental space that he could use to focus on other, more profitable projects.
After a quick onboarding to Acquire.com, Guy started receiving NDAs within hours of listing. He moved to due diligence with a buyer in two weeks and by four weeks had money in the bank to reinvest into his new projects.
He’s now working on two businesses:
- Aptakupe, a development tool for simplifying communications with Kubernetes.
- SEOgets analytics for SEO agents. He says it’s like Google Search Console with more functionality.
Listen to Andrew’s talk with Andrew post-sale as they discuss:
- How Guy pushed free users to monetize (or at least give him a backlink).
- How the indie hacker community changed Guy’s perspective on building startups.
- Why Guy thinks a passive business can be a drain on your energy.
