Welcome back to The Richard Geek Podcast. Today, I sit down with Michael Frew, a software engineer who pivoted his career to acquiring online SaaS companies. Frew discusses his journey from corporate burnout to becoming a successful entrepreneur who now enjoys the freedom of running his own portfolio of businesses.

In this episode, we're discussing...

  • Frew's transition from traditional software engineer to online business owner through acquisitions.

  • The benefits of acquiring established businesses compared to starting from scratch.

  • How to identify and target suitable businesses for acquisition.

  • Due diligence considerations for software acquisitions, including financial metrics and team expertise.

  • The concept of "buying momentum" and taking over operational businesses.

  • Warning signs to watch out for during the acquisition process, such as unrealistic profit margins.
