Newsletter-based investment research product. Built by Renotte while working full-time at Finder, then acquired by Finder itself just 7 months after launch.
Ticker Nerd sold at a 1.1× profit multiple — below the 2.8× median across 51 documented exits in our database. Multiples below the median often signal higher perceived risk: elevated churn, single-channel dependency, or heavy founder involvement.
