Description

Itay Elgazar didn’t wait years to find his exit.


He launched Superdev in early 2025, an AI tool that let developers build full-stack apps in minutes. Within months, it went viral, gained hundreds of paying users, and just two weeks after listing on Acquire.com, it was acquired in a life-changing exit.


In this episode, Itay shares how he built, listed, and closed his exit faster than most founders think possible.

You’ll hear:


    • Why starting lean and focusing on real developer pain points accelerated traction
    • How viral influencer content replaced paid ads and fueled growth
    • What clean documentation and constant communication did to speed due diligence
    • Why timing matters more than chasing the “perfect” deal


    3 lessons from Itay’s exit:

    1. Preparation builds credibility
    2. Differentiation attracts real buyers
    3. Selling while growth is visible creates leverage


    Whether you’re building to scale or preparing for a future acquisition, Superdev’s story shows that the right mix of timing, preparation, and traction can lead to a fast, clean deal.
