I had an absolute blast with Michel Gagnon and the Stun and Awe crew - THANKS again for having me... Sneak peek of the substance below: > Micro SaaS companies can be just as safe and stable as larger businesses, offering lower valuations and less competition from institutional players. > Founder-product fit is crucial, as founders solving their own problems often create useful products with great retention. > Founder burnout can be a buying signal, indicating a solid business with a founder ready to move on. > The first 90 days post-acquisition should focus on visibility, documentation, transition, and validating diligence assumptions before pursuing growth. > Building transparently and maintaining open communication with users post-acquisition helps preserve the human element and avoid the pitfall of going silent. > Simplicity equals mastery - if it takes a complex explanation to justify an acquisition, you probably don't fully understand the business. > Establishing reasonable incremental growth goals based on baseline performance (systems over goals) is more effective than setting arbitrary targets. > Fostering a culture of care and respect enables honest feedback and allows teams to move faster through a shared commitment to truth-seeking.

I'm not sure we could navigate modern life without the tech that allows asynchronous communication. But it comes at a price. For example, with multiple tools like digital whiteboards, cloud-based storage systems, video recording, AI note-taking, email and chat, teams can work together even when they are distanced both by geographic location and by time. The tradeoff is that there must be broad agreement on and fastidious adherence to guidelines about how and when each team member will use each tool. If they can't be together physically, they'll need to be together systemically. Putting these systems in place and creating a culture of using them properly is an ongoing battle. How is your team managing it? #async #smb #remoteworklife #worklife #management #leadership #productivity https://lnkd.in/gTWhiaUN
