Andrew Gazdecki discusses how to evaluate acquisition targets, focusing on solo-founder startups built with Ruby on Rails. He reflects on Microacquire's early days and explains the deal filtering preferences that matter most when assessing opportunities.

How do you evaluate different acquisition opportunities? What's like one that gets you, like, super excited? Or if it comes across your desk or email or whatever, it's like a bullseye for you.
My wish list is something that is run currently by one person part time, built in Ruby on Rails.
I remember, like, when I first launched Microacquire, we exchanged emails and you were like, can you just have one feature request, please?
Yes. And now there is a way to look for that. I have filters on my Microacquire account where I'm like constantly just searching for Ruby or Rails. You know, it's not a deal breaker. We're doing deals outside of that, but that's our dream wish list.
