What Nobody Tells You About Selling Your Business

Marvin Karlow has been on both sides of the table. He built a manufacturing business out of distressed private equity, grew it, merged it, and sold it to a publicly traded acquirer. Then he watched too many business owners in the $1M to $50M range get underserved at the exit and decided to do something about it. He runs Raincatcher, and he runs closed bid auctions the way investment banks do it for big deals, except for the business owners everyone else ignores. Jerry and Marvin break down the real M&A process, not the version you read about in Forbes, but the version that actually applies to the business you built. This is a conversation about getting what your company is actually worth. Watch it before you need it.
