Share the Story Most Founders Never Tell
The Exit Series documents what actually happens after the wire. The identity crisis. The liquidity paralysis. The advisor gaps. The questions nobody warned you about.
75% of founders experience seller’s regret in year one. Your story helps the next one prepare.
Who We Interview
Founders
You built something, sold it, and found out the hardest part wasn’t the exit — it was everything that came after.
- → Sold your business for $10M+ in the last 5 years
- → Willing to talk about what actually happened — not just the success story
- → Ready to share the surprises, the mistakes, and what you’d do differently
Advisors
You work with founders through the transition. You see patterns most people never do. That perspective belongs in this conversation.
- → Business brokers, M&A attorneys, value accelerators
- → Exit planning advisors and CEPAs
- → Anyone who sits across the table from founders before, during, or after the exit
