About David Jacobs
David spent over 15 years in various corporate development roles in Silicon Valley early in my career. He held numerous positions in large software companies like Oracle, Siebel Systems, and Suse Linux. In his late-30s, he transitioned to entrepreneurship. David transformed a five-person commercial printing agency into a thirty-five-person industry leader. He did this through an internally developed software application, a great staff, and contractual relationships with over 40 commercial printers across the USA, Canada, and China. When it came time to sell his company, it took him almost 24 months to get a deal done. He wasted hundreds of hours pursuing unqualified buyers and not being adequately prepared. He now uses his experience to guide his clients through this complex process to get deals closed at strategic valuations. His typical clients are business owners with $3m-$20m in revenue and 15-50 employees in the USA.
