Proven Four-Step Framework

Growing your bootstrapped tech startup into a success story takes unparalleled dedication, shaping not just wealth but your identity.

But what comes next? For many bootstrappers, selling your business—the culmination of all your hard work—is the best way to unlock the potential of what you have created.

But M&A for tech bootstrappers presents a unique set of challenges. It’s a personal journey, often isolated, filled with uncertainties about your future, and concerns about losing part of your identity. Worse yet, the M&A ecosystem is built for large VC-backed companies, and it simply doesn’t consider your deeply intertwined personal, financial, career, and business goals.

My own path through this difficult M&A landscape led me to develop a four-step framework specifically tailored for tech bootstrappers. This framework helps bootstrappers achieve a satisfying exit aligned with your goals, boosting your company’s value, and finding the right buyers to maximize your outcome.

Let’s embark on this journey together, transforming your challenges into a fulfilling transition!

 

WHAT’S THE PROCESS LIKE?

 

Your specific needs are as unique as the company you’ve created. So, my approach is holistic and built around you and your situation. My four-step process provides a framework for a satisfying exit, and the exact items that apply to you and the outputs of the process are things we collaboratively define together based on your individual goals and circumstances. The following gives you a sense of what’s generally involved.

The process starts with defining your vision and commitment to it, understanding your personal and financial goals, and determining how all these are integrated into your actions. We move to understanding your current situation and the issues you face. We then prepare for and plan for your acquisition and help transition into your ideal post-acquisition life.

The sooner you start this process the better, so you have time to prepare, measure results, and make optimizations. But even if you already have offers on the table, it is never too late to benefit.

We work together remotely, primarily through Zoom, email, and text, though I am available for on-site collaboration when needed. We work together for as little or as much time as you need, allowing us to implement steps, measure progress, and adjust as needed.

Most of the work is necessarily done by you, but I’m there to provide guidance, fresh ideas, advice, and encouragement along the way. My whole purpose is to help you define your vision and guide you through a process that will help you realize it.

SIMPLE SUBSCRIPTION MODEL

Unlike conventional M&A professionals, I never take a commission on your sale. Rather, I work for you under a straightforward monthly subscription model. I am with you for as long as you want and need, it’s totally up to you.

Not only is this simpler and most cost effective, but this no-nonsense working model also keeps me free from the conflicts of interest inherent with M&A professionals who work on a commission basis. My only objective is to help you envision, prepare for, and execute an exit on your terms, no matter where that leads us.

INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE?

I love connecting with fellow entrepreneurs to learn about their companies, their goals, and the challenges they face.

I invite you to book an Acquisition Strategy Clarity Call where we will discuss your situation, and I will offer initial ideas and advice about steps you can take to improve your prospects. If you feel that working with me beyond this would be beneficial, I am happy to discuss that if you ask, but it is entirely up to you, and I will not bring this up.

Thank you, and I look forward to connecting.
