EP93 How Hampus Jakobsson Sold His Tech Startup for $150M

Hampus Jakobsson co-founded the company at the age of 21 with his university friends and sold it eight years later for $150 million to Blackberry. Over coffee.

While usually a 9-figure exit takes more than a year to complete, this acquisition took place in less than six weeks.

Why?

Because Hampus and his co-founders spent those eight years building the perfect product for the market, making it irresistible for Blackberry, and in turn securing an offer the team couldn’t say no to.
