I was burned out when I sold my first startup for a life-changing amount of money. But I missed the energy, so I've started another.
Teachable was my life's work at that point. I was 24 when I started it, and I spent the next seven years building up Teachable, a subscription education platform that helps people create online courses — and get paid for it. It's sort of like how Shopify, an e-commerce platform, provides a place for people to sell physical products online. Teachable helps people build digital storefronts to sell their knowledge.
Around that time, I was also considering selling Teachable. It was a conflicting decision. I was a little tired and burned out at that point, which made an acquisition sound appealing. But I wanted to make sure that the move made sense for the company. After meeting with a potential buyer — one that I thought had a lot in common with Teachable's DNA — I felt confident making the decision.a global platform for online courses based in The Netherlands and with offices in Brazil.
That realization can be difficult for a lot of founders to face: That you don't have to be the person that runs your own company forever.
