The exit process can be grueling...
Attempting to sell or merge your business rarely goes smoothly. Drawn-out discussions can devour time and money, only to reach a dead end. And if you finally secure an acquirer, it's still hard to let go of the company you invested so much in building.
Operator Equity aims to transform lackluster acquisition experiences into rewarding exits - quickly, fairly, and with the founder's best interest at heart.
