Google says revenue was 400 Million so the multiple was not even 10x? I remember in October 2025, CEO of Thoma Bravo said that a $50 Million ARR revenue startup/company was being valued at $10 Billion.
Looks like multiples have come drastically down.
Yeah, could be that the Mods are just really busy.
Even a simple email like "I really like the design of your website/blog" will make their day.
If I remember correctly, they were the first of the customer service chatbot SaaS companies to quickly pivot to a complete AI product.
A lot of hype too by their employees and founding team for Fin on LinkedIn. I did NOT expect the final exit to not even touch double digits. Very interesting.
To answer your question, I think its happening as we speak, in small ways for some and in big ways for others.
Who knows really, either all this is a phase that pops with the AI bubble popping or something all of us will have to consider.
Poor woman should really look into pivoting her career or finding a different way of making money. Truth be told, her industry/career is not going to get better. Consistent work will just not fall from the sky.
Being bitter will not improve her situation. Even organizations like UN/OECD are looking into implementing AI in various ways.
Really good blog though. I love life blogs like these! You can go back and live through so many interesting/pivotal moments.
Very attractive numbers. I should look into the daycare business. I am guessing the people running daycare centers probably have several tax incentives too.
Use nepotism. If you know someone at a company and have leverage, ask them directly to give you the available position.
