The Truth Behind WeTransfers 9 Figure Sale!


The Truth Behind WeTransfer’s 9 FIGURE SALE!

Hi Team - It's Chris and Dan

Alright, buckle up—this week’s episode is a big one.

I sat down with Damien Bradfield, the man who literally built WeTransfer, one of the most recognizable brands on the internet.

And what just happened? He sold the company in what has to be one of the fastest sales ever. We’re talking hundreds of millions, closed at lightning speed.

Damien doesn’t hold back. Here’s what he’s breaking down:

  • How WeTransfer’s sale went down so quickly (and why you’ve never seen anything like it).

  • The playbook he used to turn WeTransfer from an idea into a global brand that everyone recognizes.

  • What he learned from building, scaling, and exiting a business at the top of the game.

This is the kind of conversation where every word counts. No gimmicks—just real insight from someone who’s been through it all.

our hot take from Damian Bradfield's episode

We asked Damien Bradfield (yep, the guy who built WeTransfer into one of the biggest brands on the internet) to drop his best tips for creating a brand that stands the test of time. And let me tell you, he delivered.

Damien didn’t just build a brand—you probably use WeTransfer without even thinking about it. That’s the level we’re talking here. So when he starts handing out advice on how to create a successful, long-lasting brand? You listen.
