I'm humbled and honored to announce that Wisio has been acquired by Outlook Amusements!   TL;DR it's all about highs, lows, and trusting the process.   Six years ago, Idan Maor and I had a dream - we wanted to start a startup. The problem was that we had no clue how to do it or where to start. So without knowing anything or having any direction, the first thing we did was, of course, buy a domain. It was the worst name ever, but at least we had our own domain, which meant that we were officially entrepreneurs! Little did we know, there was still a long way to go. We then spent a couple of months exploring interesting markets, and pretty quickly fell in love with the small long-tail creators of the Creator Economy. Just like the millions of them, we were also trying to make a living while creating a positive impact, authentically.   So we bought another domain (this time it had a better name but still not there yet). We built our first product, which had deep tech, won the CSI award-winning technology grant, and most importantly - we got our first big paying client! Seeing the first dollar our company had managed to generate is one of the most euphoric moments an entrepreneur can experience, just like when your child says your name for the first time. Things were looking good and moving fast, the stars aligned, and the forces were with us.   And then we hit rock bottom.   We experienced difficulties replicating that success and onboarding new clients, and after a few months, even our only client kicked us out the door without any notice. And if that wasn't enough, our key employee lost faith and left.   Rock bottom.   At the time, I trained hard for the Ninja Warrior show (don't ask me why) and lost 25 kilos. I opened an Instagram account, documenting my journey while trying to inspire others (@adam_frx). Quickly, I became a small creator myself, and experienced an even more acute problem than what we were initially trying to solve - my followers wanted my personal attention and advice, but I had no good solution that enabled me to be there for them and make it worthwhile for my time.   We saw this disaster as an opportunity and pivoted. Again.   Guess what we did next? You guessed it, we bought another domain - wisio.com. A little bruised and traumatized, again, we experienced the whole journey from idea, to product, to the first dollar, but this time with a different ending.   This acquisition is a huge milestone for us, and we couldn't have achieved it without the hard work and dedication of our team. We're excited to join forces with OA and look forward to the new opportunities and growth that this merger will bring. We believe this achievement will allow us to better serve our customers, help them be their best selves, and take our business to the next level.   Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Can't wait to see what the future holds for us 🐢 :) #acquisition #wisio #startup #success #entrepreneurs #tech #madeinjlm | 50 comments on LinkedIn
