Built to Sell Radio: Why Robert Glazer Sold His $28 Million Agency

Built to Sell Radio: Why Robert Glazer Sold His $28 Million Agency

Robert Glazer started an affiliate marketing agency called Acceleration Partners in 2007. Glazer never took outside capital and grew Acceleration to almost $28 million in sales before he sold a majority interest to Mountain Gate Capital in 2021.

There’s lots to like about the first in this two-part interview with Glazer including how to:

  • Know when your business may have outgrown your financial capacity to own it (Glazer will explain).
  • Distinguish between owner and manager incentives.
  • Create your phantom equity program for key managers.
  • Structure your deal with a private equity buyer.

P.S.: look out for part 2 next week where we ask Glazer how he evaluates potential acquisitions in his new role of buyer of businesses.
