In this episode of The Exit: Connor Tomkies shares insights from his entrepreneurial journey, including the successful exit of Support Ninja, a company he bootstrapped and scaled to over $50 million in revenue and 4,000 employees.
Connor discusses the challenges of growing a people-focused business vs. a software-focused business.
In preparation for exits, Connor suggests entrepreneurs create a confidential information memorandum (SIM) before engaging bankers or brokers to find the best acquisition partner for their business.
Connor also emphasizes the value of mentorship and peer support during and after the exit process. In light of this, Connor currently runs the Entrepreneur Cooperative, a community focused on supporting founders through the exit process and beyond.
For more details and insights from his entrepreneurial journey, listen to the latest episode of The Exit.
