How We Help
You run your company. We run the outreach.
Phase 1: Exit Strategy

Outreach goes out from ExitHero, and replies come back to us. We take the first calls with interested buyers, then coordinate NDAs and schedule meetings, so your time goes to the buyers who matter.
Phase 3: Negotiation
Guide You to Close
Founders who have sold their own companies advise you through negotiation, from first offers through LOI and closing.

What Founders Say
“David's expertise and guidance played an instrumental role in the successful sale of not just one, but two of my businesses. As a first-time entrepreneur, I relied heavily on David's insights throughout the entire M&A process. His extensive experience in handling business transactions proved to be invaluable, as he steered me away from potential costly pitfalls, ultimately maximizing the value for both my businesses and my investors. Thankfully, having someone as seasoned as David by my side significantly increased the likelihood of a successful transaction.”
Doug ColbeckCo-Founder, Locality
“Alex was a key player in the acquisition of Pillow by Expedia. He was one of my core partners helping with the negotiation, diligence and internal team management during the deal. His experience with the diligence and legal issues were a huge help to me as Founder and he also helped us reduce our escrow hold back by $2M.”
Sean ConwayCEO & Founder, Pillow
“Alex played a critical role in our sale of Frontleaf to Zuora. He was the one behind the scenes who connected us to a board member and opened the dialogue that would ultimately lead to the acquisition.”
Tom KrackelerFounder & CEO, Frontleaf
“ExitHero’s support and dedication were invaluable. They understood the emotional rollercoaster that comes with selling a company you've poured your heart and soul into, and they were there to offer not just strategic advice, but also a listening ear when we needed it most.”
Dave SiegfriedCo-Founder & CEO, LOANtuitive
“I have known many smart entrepreneurs, a few wise ones, and some kind ones as well, but David is about the only one who is smart, wise and kind all at the same time. He has been my mentor, advisor, and investor for a quarter of a century, and much of the success I have had I owe to him.”
Byron ReeseCEO of JJ Kent & CEO of PageWise
“David is beyond fantastic to work with throughout the entrepreneurial journey, including during an M&A transaction. He applies his knowledge, experience, care, and passion for the company all with a willingness to roll his sleeves up, and then some! He’s an ally, a strategist, and advocate, and quite simply a strong and effective partner.”
