ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Inside Micro PE explores how modern founders buy, build, and sell small digital businesses - from SaaS and newsletters to apps and content sites.
Hosted by Dev Shah, founder of Pocket Fund, this podcast brings you inside the world of micro private equity- where builders are quietly turning $10K side projects into six-figure SaaS exits.
Inside Micro PE covers a wide variety- from $5K SaaS buys to seven figure rollups. We break down how they sourced their deals, manage the takeover, scale lean, and create exits on their own terms. We explore the buy-then-build model from different angles- uncovering the strategies, frameworks, and play books that make acquisitions work.
Each episode features raw conversations with founders, indie hackers, and investors who are redefining micro PE. So whether you’re a first-time buyer, indie hacker, or emerging fund manager, there’s something here for you.
The micro PE space is evolving fast - powered by global talent, AI, automation, and marketplaces like Acquire.com.
Acquisition is giving entrepreneurs a new path to success. You no longer need a fund or a finance degree - just sweat and a laptop to start buying cash flowing businesses.
Small deals. Big returns. Real numbers, real lessons — no VC fluff.
