This is the story of how I sold my side biz @supportmanHQ in 5 hours. ๐Ÿ‘‡

And I'm going to share all the details... including price! ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿงต
@supportmanHQ As @potion_so grew and it became my focus I had been thinking that it might make sense for me to sell @supportmanHQ. I haven't spent much time on it and it passively grew to $400 MRR.

I made this tweet sharing the idea.
@supportmanHQ @potion_so I received some interest so the next day I decided to go ahead and go for it!
I submitted Supportman to @microacquire (amazing platform btw). and I created this little one pager website with the details of the business.
supportman.potion.so
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire I got some interest right away. Half from twitter and half from @microacquire. Probably around 10 people in all.
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire And then I got this message from the one and only @damengchen!
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen I have actually gotten to know Damon for a little while now. We are in a slack group with some other awesome #buildinpublic makers.

And I misunderstood him and thought he was saying what he "would" do.
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen Until I realized he was being serious! ๐Ÿ˜‚
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen We went back and forth a bit seeing what the deal could look like. It was really friendly and there was a lot of emoji ussage. ๐Ÿ˜

It was like two friends trying to help each other out and make sure a fair deal happened that benefitted both parties.
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen And here was the final negotiation.
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen I don't even know what that mustard was but it sounded good. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And that was it!

We had a deal for @damengchen to buy 100% of @supportmanHQ for $27k!
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen We didn't know what to do next.

But thank you @agazdecki for your help!
His support to founders selling their businesses is truly amazing!
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen @agazdecki We worked together to build out an Asset Purchase Agreement and we had it done and signed just after midnight!

It almost all happened in one day! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen @agazdecki We both have businesses to work on so its great that we could get this figured out so quickly and not waste our time.

What made this deal so amazing is trust. @damengchen is such an amazing maker and I have so much respect for him.
@supportmanHQ @potion_so @microacquire @damengchen @agazdecki I'm excited to see what Damon does with Supportman.

Thanks for following along the journey! ๐Ÿ™

I'm thinking about selling my secondary, side business, @supportmanHQ.

- Does $400 MRR
- Has 11 customers
- Only ever had 1 user churn
- Running pretty passively the last year Image
Doesn't take too much work to upkeep but there are some features that the current customers would like to see but I can't spend the time to work on them.

I think there is room for growth as well. And a really good opportunity to get some big B2B companies onboard.
Had a couple companies interested and one trialing currently that have over 100 support agents.

Could easily charge them $300/mo.
