My next question is from Andrew Miller on the interaction between co-founders and mastermind groups.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

This is a great question, Andrew, and I wanted to answer it really quickly here on the show.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

I would not want to be in a mastermind with my co-founder because I think it's a waste of time to have two high-functioning co-founders getting the same information and spending that same time in a group.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

You want a myriad of opinions.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

You want different inputs, different smart people thinking through the problems that you have.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

So I have never been in a mastermind with a co-founder.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

And I think that's a good thing.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

In addition, what if you start having trouble with your co-founder?

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

You want to talk to your mastermind about it, how you should handle this tricky situation with a co-founder, which has, you know, definitely happens.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

I don't feel like there's 100% right and wrong answer, but I'm probably 95%.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

I personally would not want to be in a mastermind with my co-founder.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

And I think that's probably the general advice that I would give to founders who ask me this exact question.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

Thanks for that question.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

I hope it was helpful.

And my next question is from Sebastian at sidestack.io.

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

Sebastian asks, do you have any thoughts on SaaS that earns additional revenue through transaction fees based on customer GMV or gross merchant value?

Startups For the Rest of Us
Episode 819 | QSBS, Exit Multiples, How to Learn Marketing, and More Listener Questions (Rob Solo)

Do you see this type of revenue the same way as usage-based fees or is it higher or lower quality?
