In this episode of The Exit: Todd Sullivan, CEO of ExitWise, shares insights from his journey through multiple successful exits, starting with a hockey equipment patent that he licensed and sold 22 months after creating it.

After this, Todd progressed through several ventures, including companies acquired by CBS and Microsoft.

Todd emphasizes the importance of balancing venture capital expectations with personal goals, advising entrepreneurs to prioritize their own financial security over investors' demands for outsized returns.

Through ExitWise, Todd now helps other founders navigate M&A processes. His advice to entrepreneurs is to view exits as part of a longer journey rather than a single defining event, encouraging founders to take wins when available and build upon their successes.

For more details and insights from his entrepreneurial journey, listen to the latest episode of The Exit.
