“Push Engage. It sold to an individual named Sied. He runs a firm called AwesomeMotive, and he basically is doing a WordPress type rollup... That acquisition was in the seven figures.”

The claim, plainly

Syed Balkhi of AwesomeMotive acquired PushEngage on MicroAcquire in a seven-figure deal.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim bundles three assertions: (1) Syed Balkhi/Awesome Motive acquired PushEngage, (2) the acquisition took place via MicroAcquire (now Acquire.com), and (3) the transaction value was in the seven-figure range ($1,000,000+). Official announcements from October 2020 by Syed Balkhi, Awesome Motive, and PushEngage founder Ravi Trivedi confirm the acquisition. Acquire.com's buyer case studies corroborate that the transaction occurred through MicroAcquire. However, the financial terms remain private: neither Awesome Motive, Syed Balkhi, nor PushEngage have publicly confirmed a seven-figure purchase price, leaving that leg of the claim unverified.

On October 21, 2020, Awesome Motive and PushEngage founder Ravi Trivedi publicly announced the acquisition of PushEngage by Awesome Motive.
Acquire.com (formerly MicroAcquire) features Syed Balkhi's acquisition of PushEngage in its official 'Buyer Case Studies'.
No public financial disclosures or statements from Awesome Motive, Syed Balkhi, or PushEngage confirm that the transaction was in the seven-figure range ($1,000,000 or greater).
