Joe Leech: Founder Identity and Exits

How can you create and build a position of power to get everything that you want from an exit – both financially and personally?

There are multiple reasons a founder may be considering an exit from their business even if it wasn’t their goal in starting the business. Any entrepreneur that has exited will say that the process was not what they expected. While the process of selling a company for maximum value is one thing, this session will consider the emotional and personal aspects of a company sale.

In this breakout session, we’ll look at:

  • How you can consider your own winning strategy; it is never too early to consider it.
  • What is the strategy that got you where you are today?
  • Is that strategy holding you back from an exit?
  • What needs to change?
  • What power means and how it can drive your exit.
