Raise, Sell, or Shut Down?

I work as a CFO for different startups. I was getting the exit question a lot so I put together a tutorial to help other founders.

It starts with a workbook that walks you through the process of determining when it's time to sell, 13 video lessons on the sale process, and downloadable worksheets for your work.

It comes with 60 minutes of support (phone, video, or email).

You can check it out here.

Let me know if you have any questions or have something you want me to add.

1. No proof of demand. Lead with customers, LOIs, and testimonials.

2. Fuzzy revenue and expense assumptions. Memorize the underlying numbers that drive your business.

3. Downplaying competition. Know the competitive landscape and how you differentiate.

4. Wrong metrics. Know which metrics matter: CAC, NRR, churn, payback period, etc.

5. Lack customer intel. Know your customer inside and out and be able to answer questions about why they buy what they buy.
