You can build an empire in the boring world of buying up great overlooked internet companies.
Here are some ideas to get started...
Bootstrapped SaaS
Take a great business to the next level. There are so many SaaS companies now that you can narrow down & become the acquirer of choice in a specific niche.
- Developer tools
- Future of work
- Government
- Healthcare
- Logistics
- Finance
- Legal
- APIs
Venture Soft Landings
3rd quartile VC-backed businesses don't have the growth to raise their next round, but they often have a great product with loyal customers.
Without the mandate to grow 10x & with a more reasonable cost structure, these can be great businesses that cash flow.

Pick a fast-growing platform & focus on apps that support it.
- Chrome extensions
- iPhone apps
- Webflow
- Shopify
- Figma
- Stripe
