Synopsis

Andrew Gazdecki knows startups. He founded Bizness Apps as a broke, twenty-something entrepreneur and sold it to a private equity firm before the age of thirty—after going head-to-head with Apple over a blanket App Store policy that threatened to ruin him.

He’s been a growth consultant for several more multimillion-dollar startups. His companies have been featured in TechCrunch more than a dozen times.

Now, he shares his remarkable story in Getting Acquired: How I Built and Sold My SaaS Startup. Follow Gazdecki’s journey: starting a company at the age of twenty-one and hiring, then leading, over one hundred employees without any real work experience of his own.

This honest, personal look behind the scenes reveals both his successes and his mistakes as he labored to build a compelling brand story and catalyze growth on a shoestring budget, almost lost everything, and finally sold the company for millions at the age of twenty-nine.

I will give this book one of my ultimate compliment: I MUST read it again. The first 70% of the book was about his own journey, and the last 30% is full of details what can go wrong on an exit. This is the part i definitely have to read again when making exit plans myself - even if years ahead. One o......more

People are born with some talent, Andrew's is on building companies. Every chapter is like pearls in an ocean of "how to build a SaaS company" literature. Probably the most inspiring book about building a company that I have ever read. His experiences, struggles, fights, victories, thoughts seem so......more

This was a really enjoyable book and had a wonderful personal narrative of the whole startup experience and the things to think about along the way towards getting acquired.
