About this talk

I sold Reetail, a bootstrapped ecommerce website builder, in 2024. This talk walks through the entire process: preparing financials and operations, positioning the business for buyers, negotiating terms, and handing over cleanly. It is for founders who want an exit to be an option, not an accident.

  • • What buyers actually look at, and what quietly kills a deal
  • • How to prepare your financials and operations 12 months ahead
  • • How to negotiate terms and run a clean transition
  • • Why building with an exit in mind makes the business better even if you never sell

Best for

  • • Bootstrapped founders
  • • Indie hackers
  • • Founder communities
  • • Investor and M&A audiences

Formats

  • • Keynote (30-45 min)
  • • Fireside chat
  • • Podcast
