Sell for Better Terms
Exit Right. Exit Well.
Selling your technology business is one of the most significant milestones in your entrepreneurial journey. Whether you’ve built a SaaS platform, an AI product, an IT services company, or a data analytics powerhouse, the decision to exit is personal, strategic, and complex.
Why Do Founders Sell?
There’s no single reason, but common triggers include:
Reaching a personal or financial milestone
Market timing , strategic consolidations or bullish valuations
Investor expectations for liquidity
Need for a growth partner with deeper pockets
Succession planning or founder burnout
Desire to de-risk after years of business building

- What’s my company really worth?
- Should I sell now or wait?
- What kind of buyers would be interested?
- How do I ensure my team and legacy are protected post-exit?

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start thinking about selling my company?
If you're seeing strong growth, receiving investor interest, or nearing burnout, it's time to evaluate your exit options. Planning early lets you position your company for a better valuation and smoother process when the right opportunity comes.
How do I know what my company is worth?
Unsolicited offers can be exciting, but they often undervalue your business. Before responding, it’s important to evaluate your market position and understand what other strategic buyers might offer. With the right advice, you can turn a reactive offer into a proactive opportunity.
How long does it take to sell a tech company?
Most strategic sale processes take 4–9 months, depending on deal complexity, buyer readiness, and your preparation. With the right groundwork and process, timelines can be managed efficiently without disrupting operations.
What if I get an unsolicited offer?
Unsolicited offers can be tempting but often undervalue your business. Before responding, it’s smart to assess alternatives, benchmark the offer, and understand your leverage — ideally with support from experienced advisors.
Can I stay involved in the business after the sale?
Yes — many deals are structured to keep founders on board for transition, earn-outs, or continued leadership. Your role post-sale depends on your goals and the buyer’s expectations, and should be negotiated early in the process.
