I’m betting the next 5 years on Micro-Exits. Here’s why.
I’d rather have $100k in the bank today than a 1% chance at a billion in a decade.
Hey everyone,
I’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking about why we build things.
For years, the "startup dream" has been sold to us as a singular path: Raise millions, hire a massive team, work 80 hours a week for a decade, and pray for a billion-dollar IPO.
But I’ll be honest, I’m over it. I’ve watched too many friends burn out chasing a "Unicorn" that doesn't exist.
That’s why I’m launching Micro-Exits.
The Future is "Micro"
I’ve realized that there is a much faster, much more human way to win. It’s about building small, profitable, and highly focused digital assets and then selling them.
I call them Micro-Exits.
We’re talking about exits in the $10k to $10M range.
It’s the kind of money that doesn't just change your bank balance; it changes your life. It pays off the student loans. It buys the house. It gives you the "quit your job" capital to finally breathe.
What we’re building here
Micro-Exits isn't just a newsletter; it’s a playbook for the new generation of "Indie" builders. Whether you’re into Micro-SaaS, Shopify Apps, Niche Newsletters, Paid Directories, or Chrome Extensions, this is your home.
We’re going to focus on the one thing most people ignore: The Handover. How do you build something that an investor actually wants to buy? How do you get a 4x multiple on a "boring" directory? How do you scale a Shopify app to $5k/month and flip it for six figures in less than a year?
Why join me?
I’m going to be documenting the entire landscape. Every week, I’ll bring you:
Market Intel: What’s actually selling on the marketplaces right now.
The Exit Playbook: Radical transparency on how to price and package your project.
Founder Stories: Real people who executed a Micro-Exit and walked away with the cash.
A personal favor...
I’m building this because I want to see more people achieve "Lifestyle Freedom." I want to see more "normal" people getting $100k checks for tools they built in their spare time.
But I can’t do it alone.
I have one question for you: If you could sell your current project (or an idea you have) for $50,000 cash tomorrow, what would that change for you?
Hit Reply and let me know. I read and respond to every single message.
Welcome to the movement. Let’s get to work on your first Micro-Exit.
Best,
