About this episode
Should you sell your company—or keep building? In this episode, Tom and Vivek break down the timeless founder’s dilemma with lessons from their own exits at Rapt and Krux. They explore the frameworks entrepreneurs can use to decide, from evaluating whether you have a feature, a product, or a category to weighing investor, employee, and personal motivations. Along the way, they share candid stories of near misses, tough boardroom conversations, and what it really takes to “land the plane” when opportunity knocks.
