| 0:00.0 | You're listening to TIP. |
| 0:02.3 | On today's show, we're re-sharing some of the older episodes that are my favorites for a few reasons. One, we get a bunch of new listeners each week, so new listeners may not have heard this episode before. Two, even if you've been listening for a while, you may have missed this episode when it originally came out. Or three, even if you've heard it before, it could be a great episode to learn from |
| 0:21.2 | again. If you've already heard this episode or you're not interested in hearing it, feel free to just skip it. There's no harm in that. And you can pick up with our new episodes next week. That's all I had for you for this new intro. Everything going forward is going to be from the original episode. I hope you guys enjoy it. I just want entrepreneurs to win. If you're venture back, bootstrapped, if you're |
| 0:40.7 | pubs, is going to be from the original episode. I hope you guys enjoy it. I just want entrepreneurs to win. |
| 0:38.3 | If you're venture back, bootstrapped, if you're public, if you're on Mars, whatever, whatever you're |
| 0:45.3 | doing. Like, I just want you to win. I want all entrepreneurs to win. And so in today's episode, |
| 0:53.4 | I chat with Andrew Gazdecki about what Microacquire is, how he built |

| 1:03.3 | versus large venture-backed ones that are trying to be worth billions of dollars, why VC-backed |
| 1:08.9 | companies generally get all the news coverage and what Andrew is doing |
| 1:11.7 | to change this, and a bunch more. Andrew has been an entrepreneur for longer than he can remember. |
| 1:18.1 | He likes to build stuff, mostly companies, and tries to tell a story that goes beyond what the |
| 1:22.5 | company does to how it's changing markets. He started two companies, business apps and altcoin.io, that have |
| 1:30.4 | both been acquired. Today, Andrew is the CEO of Microacquire, which is the only platform connecting |
| 1:36.6 | startup buyers and sellers anonymously. In 2014, his company was listed as the number two |
| 1:42.7 | fastest growing company in San Francisco |
| 1:44.5 | by Inc. 500, and in 2017, he was featured in Inc. Magazine's 30 under 30 entrepreneurs. |
| 1:51.1 | I originally gravitated toward Andrew's content because he and I see eye to eye on a business |
| 1:57.2 | philosophy that not a lot of people really talk about. Everyone seems to be focused on |
| 2:02.2 | building the largest, fanciest, most innovative companies, which can be great, but I also believe |
| 2:09.4 | there is a huge opportunity for people to build very real businesses that aren't in the billions of |
