Episode Description
Rich J. Yun didn’t build Jet Designs to sell it. He built it to solve a real need: on-demand design support for early-stage startups.
But once it was running smoothly, he listed it on Acquire.com. No brokers. No outside capital. Just a clean listing and the right buyer.
Within days, the deal was done. All cash. No earn-out. No complications.
In this episode, Rich explains how he prepared for a fast exit using Acquire.com templates, recording walkthroughs on Loom, and managing multiple buyers without letting things drag.
He also shares how to structure your data room, what buyers really look for in service businesses, and how to stay flexible to close faster.
You’ll learn:
- How to prep a design services business for acquisition
- Why documentation creates speed and trust
- How to juggle multiple buyers with confidence
- Why founders don’t need “scale” to sell
- What Rich included in his listing that made it stand out
3 lessons from Rich’s exit:
- Clear docs remove 90% of buyer objections
- Acquire’s resources (templates + videos) save time and stress
- If you’re honest and prepared, buyers move fast
Whether you’re running a solo service or a small SaaS, Rich’s exit shows that simplicity, clarity, and preparation are all you need.
