#66: Serial SaaS Founder Had Three Successful Exits in Three Different Ways – Raj Khera


Listen Later

Raj Khera has had three exits as a software entrepreneur and leader in his long career. His first company, GovCon, grew in the late 1990s to help government contractors easily access new contracts up for bid by the US government. Their advertising and subscription revenues grew quickly, and he sold GovCon in 1999 for $12.5 million. 

He bootstrapped one of the first email marketing software businesses in the early 2000s called MailerMailer to help small businesses send emails. Raj and his brother Vik ran this as a profitable small business for many years, giving them an interesting business challenge while not sacrificing time with their families. After running the business for 15 years, Raj sold MailerMailer to a public software company, J2 Global, in 2017.

Then Raj joined a struggling VC-funded software company called WealthEngine to help grow sales, create new products and exit. Wealth Engine was successfully sold in late 2020. Raj is now an active advisor to software founders. At MoreBusiness.com, he coaches software founders to efficiently acquire customers using advanced search engine optimization and marketing techniques.
