How Luke Peters Turned a Used Bar Fridge into an $80M Acquisition Target

Luke Peters started by reselling everyday appliances like bar fridges online. Eventually, he built a brand and shifted to selling his products on big e-commerce retailers. Peters grew NewAir to $80 million in revenue before selling it for a life-changing windfall in 2022.


In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, you discover how to: 

  • Think about something Peters calls “The 10% Rule.”

  • De-risk your business in the eyes of an acquirer.

  • Weed out charlatan acquirers who don’t have the money to buy your business.

  • Answer the critical question every buyer asks.


Peters provides a masterclass for turning nothing into something valuable.
