The resolution marks the end of a public dispute involving the ownership and control of Growth Hacking LLC and several high-profile SaaS platforms.

🔍 Background on the Perry Belcher and Chad Nicely Dispute

Perry Belcher and Chad Nicely had previously partnered in Growth Hacking LLC, a company focused on online business growth tools, sales automation, and SaaS development. Their collaboration produced platforms such as Mintbird, Letterman.AI, Poplinks, and more.

According to publicly available terms of the agreement:

• Chad Nicely retains exclusive ownership of the software platforms he and his team created, including:

• Perry Belcher keeps control of Growth Hacking LLC, but with a limited license to use the above software for a short transition period (60 days).

• All lawsuits are to be dismissed with prejudice, and both parties agree to mutual releases, ending all claims between them.

• Additional terms include:

  • The transfer of multiple domain names to Nicely.

  • A $50,000 payment to Nicely from Belcher.

  • A formal handoff of social media and merchant account access.

💡 Industry Implications

With both parties now charting separate paths, their respective brands are expected to take on new direction—Belcher with a restructured Growth Hacking LLC, and Nicely with full autonomy over his suite of SaaS tools.

This division is expected to benefit users and developers by reducing legal ambiguity and enabling each founder to innovate freely under their own banner.
