Matt Wolfe turned down two acquisition offers for his channel: one from a private equity firm and another from a larger software company. He references his friend Gen's viral video criticizing how private equity degrades YouTube channels, and says he has no plans to sell.
this video that a buddy of mine, Gen, made. It went super viral about how private equity turns your favorite channels into slop. I did watch that video. This is actually somebody I actually know and have had chatted with. And, uh, this channel has been sold. No, it hasn't. I'm just kidding. I didn't sell the channel and I don't plan on selling the channel. But the funny thing is I've gotten 2 offers already for companies wanting to buy the channel. One of them was a private equity, one was a bigger software company that tried to buy my entire brand. Both times I turned them down, said no, I have no plans to sell my channel to private equity.
