This Isn’t a Normal Executive Retreat… We’re Climbing a Volcano

One of the biggest surprises founders encounter when selling their company is this: The purchase price is rarely the same as the proceeds they receive. In the newest episode of the Built to Finish podcast with Steven Pivnik, we talk about some of the key factors that impact what founders ultimately walk away with. Things like: Working capital adjustments, deal structure, taxes, and transaction costs. These details often don’t get enough attention early enough in the process. That’s part of what we’re hoping to address through the upcoming Executive Climbing Retreat in Ecuador — creating space for founders to step away from the day-to-day and have thoughtful conversations about building companies with the end in mind. If you're a founder thinking about scaling your business or eventually exiting, this conversation may help you think about the process earlier and more strategically.
