Exit Readiness Check
Free & Confidential.
See how buyer-ready you are —
without the heavy lift.
Tell us a few essentials in a 15 minute call and we’ll work on a personalized Exit Readiness Snapshot: an indicative score, your top priorities, and a 30/60/90-day starter plan. It’s designed to cut diligence risk, create real buyer competition, and give you leverage on value and terms - while keeping everything confidential.
Serious buyers move fastest (and pay most) when numbers, story, and data room are tight. Readiness turns preparation into premium and protects your legacy, team, and customers.

Founding Partner
Bronson Carpenter
I help founders and investors turn complexity into closed deals. Over the last decade I’ve worked across investment banking, private equity, and real estate —so I’m as comfortable building the model as I am negotiating the last turn of the LOI. I’m sector-agnostic, outcome-led, and obsessed with clean processes that create real competition and better terms (not just higher price). I graduated from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

“I have real respect for the sweat it takes to build a company. That’s why I run a focused practice - few mandates, full attention, no handoffs. If we work together, I’ll give you my best, expect accountability on both sides, and make sure we actually enjoy the process. Good deals need great chemistry."

How We Work
Preparation that pays
High-caliber materials, disciplined data room, and KPI cadences that shorten diligence and raise certainty.
Terms > headline
A structured scorecard (price plus certainty, structure, and risk) so you negotiate from strength—not hope.
Founder empathy
Minimize disruption, protect confidentiality, and plan leadership/customer continuity before the LOI.
Legacy & people first
Guard what matters: culture, key teams, and customer relationships—align buyer intent with your values and brand.
Senior-only execution
No handoffs—one lead from teaser to closing, in every negotiation and buyer call.
