&gt;&gt;Financially speaking (and knowing what you know now) would you do it again?<p>Absolutely, no questions asked. Several reasons:<p>1. Acquiring an app with product&#x2F;market fit puts you ~18 months ahead of starting from scratch. Like most founders, I&#x27;m not a very patient person. I&#x27;m now working on GetDrip.com, and it took us a long time to hit p&#x2F;m fit. The slog to get there is the worst part of launching a product, IMO.<p>2. Financially, this was a game changer for me. During the course of my tenure with HitTail, revenue + the sale prices funded multiple angel investments, the budget for building and launching Drip, and many other things I would not have been able to afford previously.<p>3. The acquisition and revamp were also game changing for me in terms of what I was able to learn, the content I was able to produce from it (multiple MicroConf talks). Both are important to me.<p>Even without the sale, the learnings and financial rewards were still a major success for me.<p>&gt;&gt;Will you be going through the trash to find your next treasure?<p>I&#x27;ve already started my next one, GetDrip.com. I built it from scratch with a co-founder, and I can&#x27;t count the times I&#x27;ve said &quot;I&#x27;m never going to build from scratch again!&quot;<p>I try not to say &quot;never,&quot; but if I could choose build or buy I would buy. Every. Single. Time.
