6 months ago, we sold our first company to private equity.

Since then, we’ve incubated 3 more companies in private.

Here’s the next couple products I’m building (+ where I’m headed):

Went on the Founder of Skillshare’s Podcast!

This was a super fun podcast where I talked about how I’m building & buying internet companies. It’s quickly become one of the most popular episodes on his podcast.

The Next Decade Play

At the start of this year, I wanted to find something that I can spend the next 10+ years on.

This lead me into the holding companies.

But since my latest acquisition in April.. I went a bit quiet.

The pressure to outcompete myself was always there.

And I wanted to prove to myself that I can systematically scale a company without any outside influence or capital.

Since then, we incubated 3 companies that I will be sharing some of the details in this email.

Two have full-time operators, and the latest one is built by the core team.

All the companies have been extremely profitable, and growing on autopilot.

Finally felt the ease of life being on cruise mode.

A large part because my co-founder Ryan is one of the most brilliant revenue-focused people I’ve ever met.

Allowing me to focus more on operations, product, and inbound.

Eventually we will launch these companies, but for now I plan on sharing the high-level details of them.

  • COMPANY #1: a design agency that allows us to incubate more companies in parallel

  • COMPANY #2: software company that is partnered with a billion-dollar company for distribution

  • COMPANY #3: creator-focused company where we partner with creators to build b2c mobile apps with them.

We are growing them all the same way.

For now…
