We’ve written stories about these founders and their companies

Here's what they say about our reporting and storytelling

TGA’s feature on my business sale was one of the few media features that truly captured the essence of who was behind the business. They were genuine — obviously in it for the right reasons. They’re not going for clicks but digging for wisdom to benefit the collective.”


Caitlin Pyle, who sold Proofread Anywhere and now runs SelfTransformation.com

[They Got Acquired] was interested in getting the details right in a thoughtful, founder-focused way. There were some details that we weren’t able to disclose, but the team was able to work around that and still tell a compelling story. I’m a big fan of what the team is doing at They Got Acquired!”


Alex Hilleary, who sold Gather

 

 

They Got Acquired did a beautiful job telling the story of my startup and my exit. I couldn’t have written it better myself! Their article became a key content asset that I proudly shared as I embarked on the next chapter of my career!”


Sharon Gillenwater, who sold Boardroom Insiders and is now an advisor

 

 

The feature about Pack Hacker’s acquisition on They Got Acquired highlighted our entrepreneurial journey in such a positive way and opened doors to new connections with other founders and industry folks. The team was fantastic to work with!”


Tom Wahlin, who sold PackHacker

I enjoyed speaking to the They Got Acquired team and enjoyed the quality of the story they ended up writing as a result. I shared it with my network and got a number of nice comments – in particular about the bits of the story I hadn’t told in public before about the tricky decisions during the process and the impact of the pandemic shortly after we sold. I’d recommend the process to other entrepreneurs – I think it helps those coming after us to learn from people who’ve been on the journey.”


Will Critchlow, who sold Distilled and is the founder and CEO of SearchPilot

Working with They Got Acquired was a great experience from beginning to end. The story of our sale to Microsoft expanded my professional LinkedIn connections in the VC world. As a result, I’ve launched a new company, Gray Hat Academy, and was offered and accepted an SVP role at NetRise.”


Terry Dunlap, who sold ReFirm Labs

Alexis Grant and team did a great job reporting the sale of HiddenLevers! Kudos to the team for collecting founders’ stories and distributing them so that others can see what’s possible.”


Praveen Ghanta, who sold HiddenLevers and is the CEO of Fraction.work

 

 

You can trust They Got Acquired to tell your acquisition story. You will be proud of the result, you’ll want to share it with your network. You’ll be celebrated, not torn down, because they are on your side. You’ll want more people to read your news, and they will. I regularly get emails from people who discovered me from They Got Acquired.”


Jodie Cook, post-exit entrepreneur of JC Social Media, Forbes senior contributor, and founder of Coachvox

 

Loved the article that They Got Acquired wrote about the sale of our company. The writer was very careful to get the details right and was sensitive to the fact that we could not disclose certain data. I was also impressed by the quality of the story telling. This is a top notch publication, well edited and well run.”


Elisa Wood, co-founder of Microgrid Knowledge, and founder and chief editor of Energy Changemakers

 

 

It was a pleasure having my exits covered in a story by They Got Acquired. They told the story well, and ran an excellent research and publishing process. The story also led to several other outlets inviting me on for interviews!”


Brian Casel, who sold ProcessKit and now runs ClarityFlow

What I loved most was they really got different sides to our story, and went way beyond what TechCrunch did.

I appreciated how Alexis Grant and her team really took the time to get to know me and our team. They really helped share why this exit was so important to us, and helped connect other startup founders to us in the process. This is a great example that there are still some things that AI still can’t do as well…


Joshua Lee, who sold Ardius and is partner at Gumshoe Ventures, Venture Twelve, and Sovereign’s Capital

I loved sharing my story with you and your team. The writer was amazing and I was so happy with the final result. I think your mission is so important so I was honored to participate.”


Hope Lawrence, who sold Hudson Henry Baking Co.

I was so honored to be included in They Got Acquired when I sold my business. It was a full circle moment because it was from an email they sent that I found my broker, who found my buyer!”
