My background: I started Contactually -- a SaaS CRM for realtors and residential real estate brokerages -- back in###-###-#### We grew to over $10M ARR, were considered the #1 CRM in our industry, and sold to Compass in###-###-#### I now manage a small vacation rental real estate fund / property management co and am actively investing in self-funded search deals.

I'll spend the first 20 mins or so during the webinar walking through the top metrics SaaS investors care about, and ideal metric targets when thinking of acquiring a SaaS businesses. I'll also share the details on our acquisition and what potential buyers cared about.

Thanks again for the thoughtful conversations and questions during our meetup/webinar yesterday!! Looking forward to the next one.

Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime redacted happy to hop on a call or chat through any questions. And of course if you're looking for outside investors (particularly if you're running a self-funded search), I'd love to chat as well.

- Do you think SaaS companies can be run to optimize for cash flow in an “acquire, grow, and hold” manner? Or are they much more attuned for an “acquire, grow and exit” strategy instead?
- Do you think a search company could be ran with a completely remote team?
