THE EXIT STORY

Connor and Nathan scaled FreeUp from $0 to $12M ARR. Then sold it to The HOTH in 2019

They built FreeUp from a marketplace startup into one of the largest freelancer platforms in e-commerce — primarily through SEO, content, and the inbound engine they engineered themselves.

By 2019, FreeUp was doing $12M ARR. The HOTH (a leading SEO agency) acquired the company.

The playbook that scaled FreeUp is now the methodology behind
every TrioSEO client engagement.
