Key takeaways from this episode:

  • Product market fit in a marketplace is the point at which you have enough supply to satisfy enough demand and that demand is seeing the supply as well-priced and adequate for their acquisition needs.
  • Flippa focuses on a one-line strategy which is all about matching high-quality business owners to acquisition-fit buyers and bringing them together efficiently.
  • Flippa adds layers of verification to users and watches their activities and behaviors to figure out high-quality buyers.
  • Someone who declines consistently is unlikely to be a sellable asset on Flippa.
  • You can sell something as small as $5,000 and as big as $50 million. The biggest deal they did last year was 35 million.
  • Every single person in the company has one defined KPI to assess them against something very simple that they understand.
