How my email SaaS got acquired

by Goutham

How my email SaaS got acquired! (Full Breakdown)

I sold Mailboat which was a pre-revenue email SaaS I built last year as a small bet

gouthamj.substack.com

I'm a solopreneur & I recently sold a pre-revenue email SaaS I built just 2 weeks back.

Here I explain everything right from how I started, how I negotiated the price & how it went so that it's useful for other indie hackers :)

Feel free to ask me anything

    Cool and inspiring! I will evaluate some of my mvp's whether it might be worth listing them... saved some of the information about the platforms you mentioned. Thank you!

    Very cool and very honest. Not every sale is a 1,000,000 sale. But you can do enough for a good summer trip!! Congrats!!

    Thanks for explaining this. I have considered selling Duckist.com as well. Don't have time for marketing
