It was May 15th, 2024. My mom's 60th birthday. Instead of planning a birthday message, I was checking my phone for an acquisition term sheet from a $40 billion company. Unfortunately, when I finally got the email, it was not the yes or no response I had been hoping for.
It took almost four years before we finally found the right buyer. I wished a book like this existed at the time. If you are going through an M&A as a founder or are curious about my journey, I hope this book will be helpful to you.
Also available in paperback and hardcover on Amazon.
