Three of my clients have had exits in the last year.
All of them got checks in the range of $20-50 million. Combined enterprise value is north of $400 million.
But they had very different experiences. Before, during, and after.
That started me asking some questions—
What makes for a good exit? What would each of these folks have done differently? How is life post-exit better or worse than what they envisioned? What will they do differently NEXT TIME—and they all are working toward another exit.
The more I talked to my network of founders and advisors, the more I found that founders had no one to talk to about this.
So I found some top notch people to put in a virtual room to offer their perspectives to founders within three years of an exit.
Founders like you.
A Stellar Panel of Experts on All Things Exit
Townsend Wardlaw first had his own less than glamorous exit and has since coached and advised over three dozen founders to the point of exit and beyond.
Greg Head likes to say that he had “1-1/2 exits” in the SaaS space and today helps bootstrapped SasS companies build and sell in a way that brings purpose and freedom without buying into the VC game that works for so few founders.
Michael McAllister had his own life-changing exit in early 2024 and has seen that the entrepreneurial journey is about the founder facing both their strengths and their fears. He continues that journey today as he builds a renewed and healthier sense of purpose.
Anastasia Koroleva(invited) had her own 9-figure exit and then built and sold three more companies. Her own struggles with meaning and purpose on the other side of the exit led her to start a community and a podcast, “Exit Paradox” that focused on the lessons, personal and otherwise, that founders learn during and after exit.
Virtual Invitation-Only Event on September 17
On September 17 at noon Eastern time, you can have access to all of us—to hear about the experiences we have had, the lessons we’ve learned, and the questions we still have.
And you will have full access both to ask us any questions you have, and to connect with a group of founders just like you.
If you want to be live in the room, and you are within 3 years of an anticipated exit, please respond “INVITE” or send me a DM
I’ll ask you a couple of questions about what you want to create and then send you the invite.
Have a great week!
