Like, so what is an asset purchase versus a stock purchase?
Asset purchase just means you're just buying specific assets.
So like you're buying, say the contracts, the website, the thing, the IP, but you're not buying the rest of the company or any obligations or whatever that they have or have not.
made over the years.
And so the reason why you typically don't do a stock purchase is because it becomes a lot more expensive because it becomes just like the legal cost of papering a stock purchase becomes kind of not worth it if your deal isn't very large.
So my rule of thumb is around about a million of ARR typically, it starts to become much more common to do stock purchases.
But I mean, it does happen.
Particularly if you have large companies that are LLCs,
come along and they're just like, yeah, we're going to structure an asset purchase.
And all things being the same, you're going to get slightly more money in an asset purchase than you would do in a stock if you're negotiating correctly.
But again, like usually, certainly if you're a C-corp, but even so that there's usually some tax issues around, you know, non-stock purchases that you should be aware of.
Somewhere in there, yeah.
I mean, I've been asked this question a fair bit, obviously, I mean, fundraising for Fund 3 by investors and things like that.
I'm on record to say that I mean, I think even public SaaS companies are oversold.
I actually personally rotated into some more public SaaS in the last couple of weeks, which, you know, may come back to bite me, but fundamentally.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, basically, I think it's a buying opportunity is what I think.
And so I bought some.
But fundamentally, my thing with it is like this.
It's like, I think the only reason when SaaS will be dead is if like we've basically invented God.
