Wholesaling Inc with Brent Daniels
Find distressed properties for pennies on the dollar and turn them for huge profits!

The ideas aren’t focused on your success, it’s focused on theirs. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way.

On March 5th, 2021, SAP acquired Signavio for a billion dollars – this marks one of the largest Tech Exits in the German market to date.
How does a university side project become a billion-dollar acquisition?
In this episode, Gero Decker, co-founder of Signavio, shares the incredible journey of building the company – from its roots as an open-source project to bootstrapping, scaling, and eventually being acquired by SAP for over a billion dollars.
Learn about the pivotal moments, the role of timing, and how a strong team culture propelled Signavio to success, even when the odds were against them.
What you’ll learn:
How a university project turned into a profitable company
Why customer feedback and bootstrapping were critical in the early days
How creative lead generation methods (like the "Hare Krishna Method") made a difference
Why team culture and timing played a vital role in success
How the billion-dollar SAP acquisition unfolded and the dynamics of negotiation
