I bought a tiny Chrome extension 3 months ago and it's now my best acquisition

1•mddanishyusuf•2mo ago
Three months ago, I bought a small Chrome extension that had been running quietly for about two years. It wasn't growing, but it had a small user base and some paying customers, so I saw potential.

Here are the numbers before I acquired it (over 2 years): – $5k total revenue – 372 licenses sold – Domain Rating: 0

Here are the numbers after 3 months under my ownership: – $18k revenue – 593 licenses sold – Domain Rating: 26

I didn't rewrite the whole product. Most of the impact came from fundamentals: improving onboarding, fixing a few bugs, adding missing features users had requested, tightening up pricing, and doing basic SEO and distribution work that hadn’t been done before.

My goal now is to evolve it into something closer to a productivity tool similar to Raycast, but built directly into the browser environment.

If anyone is interested, I'm happy to break down the acquisition process, what I changed, and what actually moved the needle.
