🏴☠️⚡️ Acquire & Operate: Monthly Issues and Weekly Emails!
Welcome! This newsletter is dedicated to acquiring and operating Micro SaaS firms. Join us every other Saturday morning for deal analysis, operating frameworks / templates, and other musings...
Ayooo!
Okay, first the bad news - no new content today…
Now, the good news - we are pivoting to Monthly issues with an email every Saturday that contains a section of the issue. It’ll look a little something like this:
Part 1 — 🎯 DEAL TEAR DOWN
Part 2 — ⚙️ OPERATING FRAMEWORKS / PLAYBOOKS
Part 3 — 🛠️ OKR TEAR DOWNS
Part 4 — 🏆 PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE WRAP
The hope is to provide a steadier stream of ‘snack-able’ content that is both better suited to you (a busy, high performing audience) and friendlier on us operationally (grouped activities / execution).
We’ll also continue rocking the video / podcast sessions on a bi-weekly basis, if you’d prefer to follow along that way.
So, stay tuned for Issue #15 - Part 1 — 🎯 DEAL TEAR DOWN coming at you Saturday, July 1st.
In the meantime, we added links below to the top-performing posts and our video / audio channels if you’d like to revisit…
Go get ‘em this week! 👊
