In this episode of Add To Cart, we checkout a guy who aims to make the valuation and trading of ecommerce business much more realistic and fair. Blake Hutchison is the CEO of Flippa – a global marketplace for buying and selling online businesses. Founded in 2009, Flippa has 3 million users worldwide who can browse for content sites, SaaS businesses, ecommerce businesses, apps and digital services. As a matchmaker to connect buyers and sellers, Flippa’s notable sales include Mark Zuckerberg’s former website Facemash, overnight success story shipyourenemiesglitter.com and Retweet.com.
Can you recommend a book or a podcast that our listeners should immediately get into?
I would read Black Box Thinking.
“It’s about learning from your mistakes, analysing what worked, what didn’t work and then re-investing where you have knowledge.”
The other one is The Hard Thing about Hard Things, highly recommend that book. And then if you want to be a cheat, download Blinkist and listen to those two books!
The Checkout is a short snippet of our conversations. To hear the full interview, tune in to our main episode below.
