I didn’t set out to be an investor

I started my first business back in 2003, when I was 15 years old, and before I knew it,

We started our business in 2007, and before we knew it, we had hundreds of employees across a bunch of companies. Along the way, a variety of private equity and venture investors approached us, but it was always a miserable experience

We asked ourselves why other buyers dragged out deals for months and renegotiated over and over again. It was horrible.

Then we read about how Warren Buffett does billion-dollar deals quickly by keeping the process painless and promising founders to take good care of their businesses. Nobody had done this for technology companies like ours, so we said "screw it" and decided to do it ourselves using Buffett's simple approach.

In 2014, we stopped starting companies and started buying them using a simple one-month process, then leaving the companies alone to do their thing.

It turned out we were right, founders loved it.

We haven't looked back since...
