Why acquihires are hot right now
When funding dries up – a common experience in our current climate – an acquihire can be a good option. 
But how do you find the right fit?
Brooke Markevicius, founder of Allobee, a marketplace for freelancers, hit this bump in 2022, after raising $500,000 a few years before.
A solo founder, she’d grown the company to annual revenue of $500,000, with 300 freelancers on the platform and 200 clients.
Along the way, Markevicius had built relationships with organizations, communities and companies as a means of growing the two-sided marketplace. 
And when she was ready to sell, those relationships paid dividends. One of the emails she sent was to Amy Sterner Nelson, founder of The Riveter, a membership network for working women.
 Both the Allobee platform and team went in-house at The Riveter.
“I knew I wanted to keep building, because I really believed in our product,” Markevicius said.

Behind the business (of TGA)
When I started this brand, I did a lot of thinking about how They Got Acquired fits into my personal mission & values.
It's rewarding to see ALL entrepreneurs reap the rewards of their efforts.
But the part that I care about deeply, the part that keeps me going on the tough days, is supporting women in their careers.
My brain draws a direct line between:
Women succeeding professionally => Women earning more money => Women gaining more positions of power => Women making more of the decisions in our world.
Helping women sell the business they've built for boatloads of money is my way of getting more power in women's hands, and beginning to balance the scales, just a little.
Our latest report on female founders who sold their business calls attention to their success, so they can build on that momentum.
The coolest part is, many of those women used the money they earned through their sale to invest into new projects, ones that will have even more impact.
That trickle down effect is REAL.
So let's lift them up, cheer them on, shout about their accomplishments.
Invite them on stage or onto your podcast.
Help them make more money and more impact.
Give them the visibility they deserve.
See you next time,

Lexi Grant
