About this episode

Jaryd Krause discusses the opportunities in acquiring businesses from owners fearful of AI.

A lot of owners are losing sleep over AI right now. They watch search traffic erode, they see competitors automating, and they wonder if the business they spent twenty years building is quietly becoming obsolete. Jaryd Krause sees it differently. He's a buyer. And when he looks at a 20-year-old company run by an owner who is "scared of AI and selling because of it," he sees an acquisition opportunity, not a write-off. Krause has been acquiring online businesses since 2014.
