Andrew Gazdecki is a serial entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Acquire.com (formerly MicroAcquire), a marketplace that makes buying and selling startups as accessible as selling a car online. He sold his first company at 20 for $100K, built Bizness Apps into a 100-person SaaS company before selling it for $20M+, survived an Apple App Store near-extinction event via a cold email to Tim Cook, and then turned his own acquisition experience into a platform that has now helped 2,000+ founders exit, closing over $500M in deals across 100+ countries.
