Exiting a Company

Overview

Companies are bought, not sold. The best exits happen when a strategic or financial buyer identifies you as the solution to their problem — not when you announce a sale. This skill covers valuation drivers by buyer type, diligence-ready metrics, and the 12–24 month runway most exits require.

Not legal or tax advice. Use qualified counsel for transactions, earnouts, and cap table mechanics (equity-management, legal-for-founders).
