What you’ll learn
This advanced course equips you with the essential knowledge to tackle late-stage challenges and prepare for a successful exit. You’ll master operational strategies for overcoming growth obstacles while refining your leadership style and strengthening organizational culture. Along the way, you’ll gain insider expertise on managing boards and investors, making tough decisions such as downsizing, and guiding your company through the acquisition process. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to position your startup for an optimal exit and transition confidently into your next entrepreneurial chapter.
With the experience of guiding startups through both successful acquisitions and catastrophic failures, I’ve seen firsthand how the difference often comes down to decisions made years earlier. In this course, I’ll show you how to structure your company for an exit from day one. You’ll learn my proven strategies for investor communications, board management, and positioning your startup as an attractive acquisition target. And when others scramble during downturns, you’ll have the playbook to not only survive but thrive through volatility.
