How to Sell a Profitable Business: Lessons from a Fresh 9-Figure Deal

​Most founders think exits happen at the end of the journey.

​In reality, they start years earlier.

​Before the banker calls.
Before the offers. Before the wire hits your account.

​After building TalentPop over 6 years, Arman Taheri recently went through a strategic investment process that valued the company at 9 figures. 

​What followed was months of negotiations, diligence, valuation discussions, and decisions most founders never see until they’re already in the middle of it.

​In this live session, we’ll break down what actually happens when you try to sell or raise investment in a profitable business – from the founder’s side, the advisor’s side, and the financial preparation behind it.
