How To Sell a Bootstrapped SaaS in 7 Days With No Earn-Out

Omar Zouhair didn’t build PageCrafter to flip it. He built it to fix a bottleneck in his own team. But once it worked, he listed it on Acquire.com with no expectations.

Seven days later, the deal was done. All cash. No earn-out. No back-and-forth.

In this episode, Omar breaks down what made the deal so fast: clean documentation, transparency, and flexibility.

He also shares the exact files he created, how he managed buyer calls, and why being clear about handoff terms makes everything easier.

You’ll learn:

  • How to prep a SaaS for acquisition, even if it’s tiny
  • Why good documentation can 10x buyer trust
  • What makes a buyer skip the earn-out
  • How to list even if your product isn’t “done”
  • What founders should do before they scale

3 lessons from Omar’s exit:

  1. Buyers don’t always need scale, they need clarity
  2. A simple Figma file can make diligence frictionless
  3. The right timing beats the perfect product

Whether you're running a side project or a small SaaS, Omar’s story proves that speed comes from preparation.
