The Exit Journey: Selling Your Business, Earn-Outs and Life After ExitRESERVE YOUR SPACE HERE: https://luma.com/rxqueetz
Most founders build for years without ever thinking about an exit strategy, or what the other side of an exit looks like. The conversations happen behind closed doors, the numbers stay private, and the practical detail, what due diligence really demands, what earn-outs do to your life, what you wish you'd fixed three years earlier, rarely gets shared openly.
This session opens that up. You'll hear from women who have been through it: founders who have sold, and the advisers who sat on the other side of the table. We'll cover what makes a business genuinely buyable, how business valuations are actually arrived at, what to expect from the process of selling a business, month by month, and what changes for you personally once the deal completes.
As always, this is a practical session. Come with questions about your own business, you'll leave knowing what to start preparing now, whether an exit is two years away or ten.
Exit planning starts earlier than most founders think.
Women, Wealth & Capital is a series created to open up honest, practical conversations around money, funding, and ownership. It’s about giving founders the clarity and confidence to make strategic decisions, not reactive ones.
In this session, we’re looking at The Exit Journey.
What this session is about:
Exits are more often than not only spoken about as a shiny 8-9 figure headline, but this session goes behind that. It’s about what an exit actually feels like in practice: what position do you need to be in, how do you prepare for a successful exit, what is life like after an exit?
With our exited founders and expert panel, we'll walk through the reality of how to navigate an exit and what an exit feels like. All the while giving practical advice founders can take away and apply to their businesses so they can feel empowered to secure their ideal exit.
We’ll cover:
What does a buyable business look like and what is it worth?
How can founders prepare for a business for sale and successful exit?
How to negotiate and navigate a deal, from due diligence to earn-outs?
What is life like after selling your business?
Advice exited founders would give to themselves five years earlier.

Exited female founders and M&A advisers to be announced shortly!
