​Building a company is hard. Exiting one on your terms is harder.

​This is not another surface-level talk about getting acquired or going public. It’s a deep dive into what actually drives enterprise value, investor confidence, and successful outcomes, whether through M&A, IPO, or strategic liquidity.

​We’ll unpack the real levers of value creation: financial architecture, tax strategy, legal precision, and growth discipline from the people who have done it. Just as importantly, we’ll explore the part founders often overlook — preparing themselves and their families for what happens when risk turns into liquidity.

​Whether you’re a first-time founder or a serial builder, this session will help you think like an acquirer, structure like an investor, and execute like a pro while building the personal and financial readiness to navigate what comes next.

​You’ll Learn

​✅ What investors and buyers actually evaluate (beyond revenue)
✅ How to structure your company early to protect future value
✅ Non-financial and legal blind spots that kill deals and how to avoid them
✅ How valuation works in the real world, not the pitch deck
✅ When to sell, when to hold, and how to keep optionality

​This is where founders get real about scale, exits, and what it takes to build something enduring.
