About this event

Most founders start thinking about their exit when the term sheet shows up. By then it's years too late.

​The best exits are built long before the deal — by founders who stayed healthy enough to get there.

​Join Reuben and a panel who've lived every side of an exit — a founder who's done it, an M&A advisor who closes the deals, and a performance coach who keeps founders standing — for an honest hour on how to build a company worth buying without burning out building it.

You'll leave knowing:

  • ​What buyers actually look for — and what quietly kills a valuation

  • ​Why exit readiness and founder health are the same project

  • ​The moves to make years before you ever plan to sell

  • ​How to scale without becoming the bottleneck in your own company

​🎁 Bonus for attending: free access to the Founder Health Check — a 5-minute score of how exit-ready you and your company really are, with personalized results.

​Free. Live. One hour. Bring your questions.
