Acquiring in the Digital Space?

Acquiring in the digital space is quite different than acquiring a traditional business. There are many pitfalls and traps unique to digital businesses. Active platforms such as Flippa and Acquire are flooded with fly-by-night businesses that are low quality, built-to-sell businesses that have no value once the seller has sold and left the business. In fact, as an investor / searcher, this is the biggest obstacle that I face. 1) Do you generally acquire to run the business yourself? Or do you look for deals where the original owner and team are willing to stay on and run the business? These days sellers might also pretend to say they will stay on but how do you trust them once they cash out is a huge issue. 2) Do you hire competent people to help you run the business? And once you factor in the cost of installing a new CEO, the math may no longer work. In many cases, you are stuck with a full time job. But what if I want to be an investor and let someone else run the business? I would love to hear your story and thoughts.
