What made me start to want to sell the business? Well, it was a moment of truth. I realized that I have taken the business as far as I personally could take it. As the leader of this business, I asked myself a very important question. Are my skills, my energy, my strengths still what this business needs for the next chapter? And the answer was no, not because the business wasn't great. We were thriving. We had over 30,000 users use webinar ninja. We were one of the top webinar platforms of the world. But the next level required a different kind of leadership. A different system, a different scale, a different risk appetite, to be honest. And at that point I had two real options. Either hire another CEO or I sell the business to someone who could take it to another level. What wasn't an option was staying in the middle. Because the status quo is dangerous in business. If you're not growing, if you're not innovating, if you're not improving, you are asking for trouble.
