Opportunities in Micro Private Equity

You can build an empire in the boring world of buying up great overlooked internet companies.

Here are some ideas to get started...

Bootstrapped SaaS

Take a great business to the next level. There are so many SaaS companies now that you can narrow down & become the acquirer of choice in a specific niche.

- Developer tools
- Future of work
- Government
- Healthcare
- Logistics
- Finance
- Legal
- APIs

Venture Soft Landings

3rd quartile VC-backed businesses don't have the growth to raise their next round, but they often have a great product with loyal customers.

Without the mandate to grow 10x & a more reasonable cost structure, these can be great businesses that cash flow.

Barnacle on a Whale

Pick a fast-growing platform & focus on apps that support it.

- Chrome extensions
- iPhone apps
- Webflow
- Shopify
- Figma
- Stripe

Content

Roll up great content and share best practices and audiences to take them to the next level.

- Online communities
- Online courses
- Content sites
- Newsletters

E-commerce Stores

Roll up great products & share best practices/expertise/audiences to take them to the next level.

- Shopify stores (OpenStore)
- FBA Businesses (Thrasio)
