Startup Acquisition Stories Podcast With Guilhermo Oenning, Founder of Fider

Author: Acquire.com August 22, 2024 Duration: 18:55

How important is your peace of mind to you?


Brazilian founder Guilhermo (Guy) Oenning built a SaaS business called Fider, monetized it, and let it quietly earn him $1,000 a month for three years. He sold when he realized it was taking up too much mental space that he could use to focus on other, more profitable projects.


After a quick onboarding to Acquire.com, Guy started receiving NDAs within hours of listing. He moved to due diligence with a buyer in two weeks and by four weeks had money in the bank to reinvest into his new projects.


He’s now working on two businesses:

  • Aptakupe, a development tool for simplifying communications with Kubernetes.
  • SEOgets analytics for SEO agents. He says it’s like Google Search Console with more functionality.


Listen to Andrew's talk with Andrew post-sale as they discuss:

  • How Guy pushed free users to monetize (or at least give him a backlink)
  • How the indie hacker community changed Guy’s perspective on building startups.
  • Why Guy thinks a passive business can be a drain on your energy.


Guy is just getting started and you can follow his journey through the links below:

Behind every successful startup acquisition, there's a story-a complex mix of strategy, emotion, and paperwork that rarely gets discussed openly. Startup Acquisition Stories, from the team at Acquire.com, pulls back the curtain on those real-world transactions. Each episode features founders and entrepreneurs who have personally navigated the process of selling or buying a business through their platform. You'll hear them recount the nuanced decisions that don't make it into press releases: the challenging conversations around valuation, the subtle art of vetting the opposite party, and the critical, often overlooked, steps after the handshake. This podcast digs into the practicalities of due diligence, structuring terms, and managing the transfer of assets, all the way through to escrow and the crucial post-deal transition. It’s a grounded, detail-oriented look at the mechanics of a business exit or expansion, straight from the people who’ve lived it. For anyone curious about the actual path to a deal, beyond the theory, this series offers a rare archive of lived experience and hard-won advice.
