Audio

Description

Kevin McArdle spent 15 years working in large software companies before becoming a practical investor and acquirer of smaller SaaS businesses. Kevin is the CEO and co-founder of Big Band Software, a holding company that buys and holds small, profitable, and growing SaaS businesses—with no intent of selling those businesses. Kevin has acquired over 40 businesses in the last 10 years with this buy-and-hold model. As an expert guest on the podcast, Kevin answers common questions from practical founders about the holding company approach as an exit path. Holding companies are common in other industries, including Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway, but relatively new to the software industry. Learn more at practicalfounders.com.
