We cover acquisitions of online businesses.
Not the rare $250 million, VC-backed deals that most business publications focus on.
These are the stories of entrepreneurs who grow lean and profitable businesses, celebrating 6-, 7-, and 8-figure sales.
If that sounds appealing, we want to be a resource for you. And if you've sold an online business, we're keen to tell your story.

About the Company
Our mission at They Got Acquired is to redefine startup success by highlighting “small” exits, especially those by bootstrapped and underrepresented founders.
We’re a new brand that’s still in pre-launch, with the goal of launching this fall. Our team is entirely remote.
We believe it’s possible to make a meaningful impact and reach millions of readers without working ourselves into the ground. We love this work — and we also enjoy life outside of work.
Our founder is Alexis Grant, who has successfully grown several content companies, including The Write Life, a content site for writers she sold in 2021, and The Penny Hoarder, a personal finance media brand she helped scale to 100+ employees. Before transitioning into entrepreneurship, she worked as a journalist at the Houston Chronicle and U.S. News & World Report.
