#1583 How VinSolutions was built and sold to Autotrader for $150,000,000
Matt Watson is the founder of Stackify which helps developers improve their applications.
The company he started before that was called VinSolutions. They offered a collection of software for auto resellers.
He sold it to Autotrader and there were a bunch of different rumors about what the price of the sale was. Biz Journal said he sold that company for nearly $135 million. It ended up being $150 million.
I want to find out how he did it.
