Acquisition Play

Buying $1.08B of ARR in 37 Days Instead of Building

Bending Spoons acquired Airtable at 2.7x ARR and Miro at 2.3x ARR, paying $2.64B for $1.08B of ARR. Its own stock trades at 8-10x revenue, so acquired revenue is worth ~4x more under its ownership.

“Creates value via buy-and-optimize instead of zero-to-one organic growth, buying B2B companies at 2.3-2.7x ARR.”

Jupiter YOLO's pay-what-you-can house pool

Jupiter YOLO explicitly tells traders that the house pool may not cover winners and queued profits may never pay out, making payout risk transparent before trade rather than discovering a shortfall later.

“Instead of guaranteeing redemptions, YOLO discloses that the pool can be insufficient and profits may be queued indefinitely — an inversion of standard exchange assumptions.”

Surgical sports sponsorship over broad awareness

Zip focuses sports sponsorships on just a couple of key regions, specifically Philadelphia, to build deep brand presence rather than campaign nationally.

“Opposes the common spray-and-pray sponsorship approach; prioritizes the right audience at the right moment over broad awareness.”

Buying Beaten-Down Alts

Michael Nadeau's strategy of buying alts that are down ~95% from highs, like Ethena, rather than chasing momentum.

“Goes against conventional momentum buying and gets excited when prices drop.”

Building a Small Team Before Becoming VP of Sales

Jason Lemkin advises that top reps should not jump directly to VP of Sales; they must first build and manage a small sales team themselves.

“Common advice is to take the VP offer when it comes, but Lemkin warns it's a recipe for failure without prior team-building experience.”
