As a founder, how do you maximize the value of your company before exiting? What are the ingredients needed to reach “extreme valuation” and build a sustainable business?

Executives need to shift their viewpoint from business owners to investors in their own company. How do founders build for transferable value from the perspective of an acquirer? By changing their lens, they can maximize valuation.

Collaboration with outside sources is a key component of founder growth. CEOs need candid feedback from people whose checks they’re not signing. Leveraging expertise by networking with other executives who experience similar challenges, even across industries, is essential.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Grow your valuation by changing your perspective from business owner to investor in your own company. Think about transferable value from an acquirer’s perspective rather than as a business owner.
  • Work yourself out of the business by moving from micromanaging to strategic oversight. 
  • Collaborate with others that can honestly empathize with you (i.e., similar stage/industry CEOs) to give you honest feedback by scrutinizing your vision and strategy.
