Share the Story You Wished You Knew Before the Wire

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
Track 1

Founders

You built something, sold it, and thought the only hard part was before the close. It was also everything that came after the wire.

  • Sold a business and willing to discuss the real experience
  • Willing to discuss the experience openly — the decisions, the surprises, what they would do differently
  • Ready to share what came after, not just the deal itself
  • Comfortable talking about what went right and what went wrong
Track 2

Advisors

You work with founders through the transition. You see similar patterns multiple times. Most business owners don’t. That perspective belongs in this conversation.

  • Business brokers active in lower middle market transactions
  • M&A attorneys with a transactional practice focus
  • Exit planners and advisors with documented deal experience
  • Anyone who sits across the table from founders before, during, or after the exit
