the exit playbook

how to get acquired, for a lifechanging amount

in business, there is no greater feeling than when the wire hits.

luckily, i've felt that 5 times, selling companies for $3m to $165m -- to PE, strategics, family offices, and even competitors

i've learned a lot... the hard way.

now, i'm writing a book to share everything i've learned + interviewing other post-exit founders so you can use our wisdom to create a lifechanging exit for yourself.

while i write the book, i'm sending 📧 daily emails with the stories, learnings, and early chapters before anyone else sees 'em.

you'll see the actual emails, LOIs, term sheets, purchase agreements and more.

p.s. here's an example email: the anatomy of an acquisition.

why am i writing this

i love helping founders get lifechanging exits. seriously, it's so much fun.

who is this for?

i can confidently say if you're going to sell for < $1b, this is for you.

who is this not for?

if you haven't built a business yet, this is not for you. go build one and come back.
