Why they sold: Tom did not enjoy running an agency: he stayed heavily involved in delivery, and late-evening calls with US clients were affecting his family life. He did not want to spend years becoming an agency operator.
The story of PimpMySaaS
PimpMySaaS was a Reddit-focused growth and SEO agency for B2B SaaS companies. Tom Benattar started it after seeing Reddit work as a channel for his email-tracking product MailTracker. The agency helped clients build a presence in relevant Reddit conversations to improve visibility in search and AI answers.
It grew to about $70K MRR and signed more than 80 clients over its life with very little marketing, and it was strongly profitable. It also suffered heavy churn, and Tom has said its processes, client communication and reporting were never where they needed to be.
In September 2026 Tom wrote that the agency had been sold for less than one year's ARR while doing about $50K MRR, and that his main feeling was relief. The buyer was not named. A few weeks later he called the MailTracker sale his second exit of the year, which places the PimpMySaaS sale in 2026.

- 3.Maximizing valuation need not be the only goal; a cleaner exit can be worth more personally.
