FOUNDER EXIT READINESS
You built this from scratch.
We prepare it for the scrutiny of an acquisition.
Every founder-led business carries founder magic: the instincts, relationships, and hard-won judgment that got it here. The goal isn't to remove that magic. It's to make the magic sustainable beyond you.
We find the gaps a buyer would find anyway — the ones that lead to discounts, delays, or a deal that falls apart — and fix them before anyone else sees them. That's how you protect what you built, and the team you built it with.
Start a ConversationHOW WE GET STARTED
An honest look at where you stand today.
Three entry points: The right one depends on your stage, your urgency, and the specific risk most likely to matter to value.
Founder Exit Readiness Snapshot
A fast, executive-level assessment of where your business stands today, before committing to deeper readiness work.
Best for: Founders two to seven years out from a value event who want an objective baseline.
Specialized Enterprise Value Reviews
Targeted reviews for founders who already know where the risk is concentrated and want focused depth on one dimension: leadership durability, organizational scalability, revenue reliability, transaction readiness, or AI and data readiness.
Best for: Founders with a specific concern who want focused depth rather than a broad
review.
Founder Value Risk Review
A focused diagnostic that identifies the risks most likely to compress value, transferability, and buyer confidence, before a buyer finds them in diligence.
Best for: Founders who want to know exactly what a buyer would discount, and why.

"Working with MaryAnn helped me step outside the day-to-day and see my business through a different lens. Our conversations brought clarity to what I was building, where value was at risk, and what needed attention to prepare the company for what came next."
