What does it actually take to build something worth buying?

Most business content is about raising money, growing users, or surviving the early days.

This event skips all of that & goes straight to the part most founders never reach: the exit.

We bring together founders who built real businesses & sold them.
Some closed in weeks. Some took years. Some used AI to build faster than any team could. Some bootstrapped with no outside funding & sold to a strategic buyer. Some built newsletter businesses, AI apps, SaaS tools, no-code platforms, vibe coding projects, & AI agent products that a larger company wanted enough to write a check for.

Every founder in the series has something most startup content glosses over: a real number, a real timeline, & a real story about what the process actually felt like from the inside.

This event is for founders at any stage, operators who want to understand what makes a business acquirable. Best for....
- AI founders building without a technical team
- People who use tools like Cursor, Base44, Bolt, Lovable, & Replit
- Startup CEOs thinking about their first or next exit

Each founder walks through what they built, who bought it, what the negotiation looked like, what they would do differently, & what they are working on now.

No panels. No investor pitches. No surface-level advice. Just founders telling the truth about what it took to get to the other side.

The audience is small & the questions are open.

Come ready to ask the one you actually want answered.

Note: Date may change to accommodate guest speakers. Check this page for the most current information.
