Software Industry Experience
I spent over 15 years in various corporate development roles in Silicon Valley early in my career. During this time, I held numerous positions in large software companies like Oracle, Siebel Systems, and Suse Linux.
Entrepreneurial Experience
In my late-30s, I transitioned to entrepreneurship. I transformed a five-person commercial printing agency into a thirty-five-person industry leader. We did this through an internally developed software application, a great staff, and contractual relationships with over 40 commercial printers across the country.
My Business Exit
When I sold my business, I quickly discovered how challenging the process could be: unqualified buyers, confidentiality concerns, unreasonable documentation requests, and countless hours away from actually running my company. I also lacked the know-how to engage multiple buyers quickly and effectively, missing out on the benefits of competition among interested parties.
In 2019, I became a full-time advisor specifically to help other business owners avoid these pitfalls. Now, I use my years of experience and leverage a wide network to connect with multiple qualified buyers simultaneously, creating the competitive environment that leads to higher offers, better terms, and faster closings. This ensures a smoother and more successful exit for my clients.
Ideal Sell Side Client Profile
For sell side engagements, I look for clients with the following:
Software and SaaS companies: $2-$10 million in ARR.
Other businesses: $300k-$3 million in EBITDA.
