We don't want to brag but that's just something else Todd Hooper shared during our podcast 🫠 At saas.group, we always say that talking to other founders who sold to your potential acquirer is key. If a buyer can't introduce you to their previous deal contact, consider it a big red flag. Due diligence should absolutely be a two-way street. And we can't promise that it's smooth sailing start to finish because what is? What we can promise though, is partnership from day one - a transparent and honest process, where we work together identifying growth potential and making sure you end up with an offer that suits YOUR idea of a great exit.

OUR SAAS M&A COURSE IS LIVE 🚀 We're not sorry for all the capital letters because we're too excited. It's been a year since we announced working on it and after a lot of iterations, working on content and design, choosing the right hosting platform, editing, and promoting, it's ready. No more waiting! All you need to know about selling your SaaS company is inside, along with checklists, downloadable materials, and, obviously, a meme folder 😆 Share your feedback once you're through.

We stopped counting the number of times founders said running an AI product bootstrapped is not possible. And finally got someone on the podcast who is doing it! And pretty successfully, too. Todd Hooper got to know saas.group a few years ago after a cold email that ended up becoming a deal to sell his company, Prerender.io®. These days he is building Landingsite, helping marketers generate beautiful websites in matter of minutes. We talked to him about the Prerender acquisition, bootstrapping rules he lives by, and sustainable SaaS growth in the AI era. Grab a link in the comments to check this one out 🎧

This is Tim Schumacher, welcoming us to the new office building because remote doesn't cut it anymore. If this didn't give you chills, you work in corporate 🤣 Happy Halloween!

That's a wrap! In the last month, we've been to the TGS Con by The Growth Syndicate, ARRtist, How to Web, SaaSiest, Crossroads by Start Up, Bulgaria and SaaStock 🚀 We went as guests, speakers, hosts, community builders, you name it. Our learning? Networking is everything. While the amazing teams behind the conferences had set up super strong programs for everybody, most of the value came from just being there, walking the floor, setting up meetings (extra kudos to those locations that made it easier on us 🙏🏻). It was extremely inspiring to see what's being built, how AI is changing SaaS globally, and how eager the founders are to learn from their audience and peers to be able to provide even more value and create something truly outstanding. We were also pleasantly surprised how well the M&A talks were received (no one was sleeping in the audience! 😉). Since acquisitions mostly remain a black box for SaaS founders, we love the opportunity to bring more clarity to the process. That said, with our SaaS M&A course launching next week, you'll have an even better chance to learn all you need to know about exiting your company successfully. Registrations are open!

This time next week we'll give you access to our M&A course 🚀 Sign up on our website to be the first one to get a glimpse 🤩

You know what always surprises founders during a sale? How deep buyers actually go during due diligence. We’re not just checking if your MRR graph goes up and to the right. We’re asking: is this growth real, repeatable, and resilient? Here’s what we really care about 👇 💸 Revenue quality – Is it truly recurring, or hiding churn behind annual prepaids? 👥 Customer stickiness – Do users come back because they need your product or because they forgot to cancel? ⚙️ Operational maturity – Can the business run without you, or are you the glue? 🧠 Product clarity – Do you have focus, or is it a Frankenstein of features? 🧩 Data & tech hygiene – Clean data = confidence. Messy stack = hidden costs. ❤️ Cultural fit – We’re not just buying software, we’re joining your story. At the end of the day, buyers look for predictability, not perfection. And due diligence isn’t about catching you off guard. It’s about confirming what makes your business truly work.
