How a Solo SaaS Founder Sold His Startup to Private Equity

Episode 58 of The Tech Founder Podcast with Fexingo dives into the rare but compelling story of a solo founder who bootstrapped a niche B2B SaaS to $4 million in annual recurring revenue and then sold it to a private equity firm. Lucas and Luna walk through the founder's playbook: why he chose a boring market (construction subcontractor compliance), how he avoided VC pressure, the 'buy-and-hold' pitch to PE, and the surprising lesson about liquidity events for solo operators. They also debate whether selling to PE is a realistic exit for most first-time founders, or just survivorship bias.
