How Founders can maximize their future Exit - with Todd Sullivan of ExitWise
About this episode
Todd Sullivan is co-founder and CEO of ExitWise. After building and exiting a series of his own companies, Todd now helps founders plan and maximize their own exits when the time is right.
During our talk, we covered:
- How solving your own burning need can be the best launchpad for a startup
- How decisions you make now can set you up for a strategic acquisition later down the road
- The dangers of depending too much on someone else’s ecosystem – and how to mitigate them
- The importance of timing in acquisition – and how one founder was able to 20x their exit outcome by planning this well
- How to manage the 3 different types of exit scenarios
- Why bringing an experienced M&A team to the table can make a deal go much smoother
- How to make sure time works for you and not against you in any deal process
- And how the current funding environment is affecting M&A – and which companies are poised to win
