Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

Very good return in a short period of time, but at a tiny scale.

And then

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

That 20 went into a couple other acquisitions and maybe turned into 40.

But again, similar nature.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

So small product, amateurishly built.

Certainly no institutional investors.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

No investors of any sort.

Definitely no professional management teams.

Typically one person.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

Yeah, exactly.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

In parallel, we also launched a handful of products from scratch, learned things.

Because if you don't acquire almost anything because you've got no money, you're also not learning.

So we were trying to learn, hopefully make some revenue.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

We had a couple of mild successes, enough that it extended our runway.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

So many small things like that, and we kept adding and compounding.

But slowly but steadily, 10K turns into 20K and 40 and 80 and...

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

We've been compounding at pretty fast rates.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

If you look at our per share revenue or EBITDA growth over the past four years, where we are a decent scale, it's about 1.3 billion this year.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

It's still about 75% per year.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Luca Ferrari - Building Bending Spoons - [Invest Like the Best, EP.446]

We're still compounding pretty fast.
