M&A Exit Compass™: Confidently Control People, Cost & Timeline in M&A
What’s the difference between a founder who walks away from their business with millions—and one who walks away with regret? It starts and ends with your team. The M&A exit process is filled with unseen traps, costly missteps, and high-stakes negotiations that catch even seasoned entrepreneurs off guard. Every founder asks, “Who do I really need on my team to protect everything I’ve built?” In this practical, story-driven workshop, M&A expert Clay Chamberlain pulls back the curtain on what really happened to founders like Claire Cox, who lost $8 million by hiring the wrong advisors at the wrong time. You’ll discover the A.R.M.O.R. Team framework—Architect, Rainmaker, Mathematician, Optimizer, and Reinforcements—and understand why conventional hiring logic breaks down in high-value exits. Instead of guesswork, you’ll get a clear sequence for assembling the right professionals, in the right order, at the right moment—so you never sign an LOI or engagement letter without protection.
