SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
The Micro PE Playbook: They Bought 20 SaaS Companies, $60m ARR, 300 people

Yeah, they were doing a lot of paid marketing, but also we could add a ton of value when we came in.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
The Micro PE Playbook: They Bought 20 SaaS Companies, $60m ARR, 300 people

One of the first things were we slashed their Google paid accounts in half.

The Micro PE Playbook: They Bought 20 SaaS Companies, $60m ARR, 300 people

uh the lead gen uh just on that google google paid account and and that's exactly some of those those value ads we bring us ask but we have some super specialized super smart people for different disciplines in this case pay-per-click um and we were able to help and um make a strong business we love dash this strong business but we may can make it even stronger

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
The Micro PE Playbook: They Bought 20 SaaS Companies, $60m ARR, 300 people

Well, I mean, all that gets factored into the price, but we've seen businesses with more churn than that.

And there are some businesses which just by design have more churn because they're more seasonal or agencies go out of business and stuff.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
The Micro PE Playbook: They Bought 20 SaaS Companies, $60m ARR, 300 people

Sure, it's not ideal and that gets factored into the price, but this is still growing and it's a great business.
