Well, what a journey @Uplisting! What started as months of late-night and weekend work while we had other jobs, then years of a tough grind building this sustainable, bootstrapped company from scratch, resulted in an acquisition we could have only ever dreamed of. Andy, Tadej and I started @uplisting in 2017. Since then, we've spoken to each other almost every single day. Aside from my wedding in 2017, we hadn’t been in the same room together until last summer when we caught up in Slovenia. What you can achieve online is mad, and I’m so grateful to these partners (and our significant others) for their grit, hard work, and unwavering belief in our goal. Together with our brilliant, self-sufficient team, we’ve grown sustainably into one of the top software companies in our industry. In 2023, we processed a staggering $400m in bookings for customers. Few companies make it to this point, and we think we’ve done it the right way - on our own terms. Thanks to all who have supported us, thanks to our customers and thanks to AirDNA and Alpine for making this acquisition as enjoyable as I think it could be. Thanks, @TomLyonsBiz, for a fantastic write-up.

My piece for NBC World: lnkd.in/d8kmgeqE I’ve wanted to visit Socotra ever since 2013, when I was living in Yemen and first heard stories about its surreal landscapes, alien-like flora, and the mythical Dragon’s Blood trees.

@AsiaOrangio came on board at around $15k MRR early 2020. @BreslinM powered the paid acquisition strategy from the very early days. Both are still running the acquisition show for us a few hundred thousand MRR later.
Tyler Tringas@tylertringas

They executed perfectly and grew ~500% to $3m ARR since then (I heard @AsiaOrangio was a huge help here). And while I was frankly trying to convince them to let me invest more in Uplisting, they got a life-changing exit offer 👏 Awesome work 👏

We’re forever grateful for your belief in us @tylertringas! An ideal investor and partner. I first reached out to you around $5k MRR. A lifetime ago…
Tyler Tringas@tylertringas

Huge congrats to @breslin and the @uplisting team on a life-changing exit to AirDNA 🙌 I watched this scrappy team bootstrap an incredible STR property management software, navigate a global pandemic, and was lucky enough to invest out of @calmfund Fund II in 2021
