My guest is Kison Patel, founder and CEO of DealRoom and host of the M&A Science Podcast. We talk about why you should start thinking about your exit long before you’re ready to sell, how to build relationships with potential acquirers, and what really goes into valuing your business. Kison shares the biggest mistakes founders make during M&A—and what to do if a deal falls through.

Make sure you tune in for practical tips on prepping your business for sale and asking the tough questions that protect your team and your legacy.
