Debating a $50,000,000 Dollar Exit to Oracle - featuring Indus Khaitan of Quolum

Last week we talked to a founder who had sold his company and was looking into the abyss of the next phase of his life and career. Today, we’re talking to a founder who is at an even earlier inflection point, one where he faces this question: To sell or not to sell?

Indus Khaitan built an enterprise product that had big name customers and healthy revenue. It seems like a time in a company’s lifecycle that the founder should be sleeping well at night. But that wasn’t the case for Indus. The possible paths included taking on more funding, moving down market and hire a sales team, or taking a $50,000,000 payday from Oracle and walking away.

In this episode, we revisit the days and weeks Indus weighed his options and the ultimate outcome of his decision.

Indus Khaitan is currently the founder of Quolum, the best way to pay, manage and optimize your SaaS spend.
