In this episode of The Founder's Journey to Exit, a podcast by Evergreen M&A, Hannah Huke sits down with Managing Director, Roy Yewah, a seasoned M&A advisor who has worked on transactions across nearly every size and stage of business.

Roy pulls back the curtain on what he’s seen behind the scenes: the most common mistakes founders make when preparing for a sale, the challenges that tend to surface late in a process, and the decisions that separate strong outcomes from disappointing ones. He also shares practical, hard-earned advice for owners who want to maximize value—long before they ever talk to a buyer.

Whether you’re years away from an exit or already getting inbound interest, this conversation offers a grounded, honest look at how to approach a sale with clarity, leverage, and confidence.

Real founders. Real exits. Real lessons from the journey. Brought to you by Evergreen M&A: Advisory for Founders.
