From a founder- the f?
Founder of an AI SaaS platform. 7 years old, crossed $30m rev last year on track to do $90m this year. 90% gross margin, 30% ebidta margin.
Ran for a minority recap this year. Had interest from every major fund but ended up with 2 shitty bids (10x last year rev). The universal sentiment was “we love your business but our IC can’t get comfortable with a higher price.”
We’re turning down the sheets but is this normal out there? What kind of deals are happening?
