Google Tried to Sell for $750K... Nobody Bought It | #1366
from Sales Secrets · host Brandon Bornancin
Entrepreneurship is often romanticized after success, but the hardest moments happen long before the breakthrough. In this episode, Brandon tells the story of building Seamless through multiple failed CTO hires, losing his last $100,000, and shutting down the entire platform to rebuild it from scratch. He shares how the story of Google being rejected by every major tech company became a reminder that great ideas are often misunderstood early. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes moments most founders never talk about — sleepless nights, impossible technical challenges, and the decision to bet everything on one final rebuild. The lesson isn’t genius, luck, or perfect timing. It’s persistence. Because sometimes the only thing separating failure from a billion-dollar company is the decision not to quit.
What this episode covers
Before Google became a $2 trillion company, nobody would buy it for $750,000. In this episode, Brandon shares how that story helped him survive the darkest years of building Seamless — when failed hires, empty bank accounts, and rebuilding the entire platform nearly ended the company.
