Evaluating IF and WHEN you Sell / Exit

Not every founder exits by choice.

Sometimes life, markets, or circumstances force your hand.

But when you do have the luxury of time, perspective, and planning, your outcome can shift dramatically.

This session is about understanding the key factors that should guide your decision-making around whether and when to sell.

We’ll walk through the major dimensions that matter:

• Personal readiness

• Financial position

• Market timing

• Business readiness

• Strategic alignment

This is a reflective one, but don’t underestimate its power.

📌 Brainstorm Notes on the 5 Key Factors

Use the chart from the session slides and start jotting down notes, issues, or opportunities under each category.

You can do this in your notebook, your journal, a doc — whatever works best for you.

This isn’t about finding answers right now, it’s about seeing clearly.

Often, this exercise will surface insights and next steps you didn’t know you needed.

Many of these ideas will become actionable later, so keep your notes accessible.
