This week on The Exit: Mark McClain, CEO and founder of SailPoint Technologies, shares his journey from corporate roles at IBM and HP to becoming an "accidental entrepreneur" with his first startup, Waveset.

After a successful exit selling Waveset to Sun Microsystems for $150 million, Mark co-founded SailPoint, which has since become a thriving company with thousands of employees.

SailPoint's story includes multiple exits: a sale to private equity firm Thoma Bravo, going public in an IPO, and then being taken private again.

Mark discusses the challenges and lessons learned through these transitions, including the importance of building relationships with potential acquirers and being prepared for unexpected opportunities.
