Practical frameworks for founders, buyers, and investors navigating exits and acquisitions.
Exit & Acquire exists to help founders, buyers, and investors think clearly about exits and acquisitions long before urgency sets in.
Every week, we share actionable insights, real-world lessons, and proven frameworks that cover the full lifecycle of ownership transitions: preparation, value creation, due diligence, and post-acquisition integration.
This isn’t theory. It’s grounded in real Main Street and Middle Market transactions, informed by conversations with founders, operators, and investors who have successfully navigated exits and acquisitions.
Exit & Acquire is designed for people who want to think ahead, make informed decisions, and maximize value…
….without the noise
…without the hype
…without the conventional conference advice.
