Ben Faw has gone through two exits, one of which closed for a $100M valuation. In this conversation, Ben discusses how he selected the business to build, his criteria for finding an M&A advisor at the beginning of the exit process, and some metrics the buyer was looking at that ultimately led to closing the deal. In regards to the timing of the sale, interestingly, Ben starts thinking about selling a business when everything is going well, as this is when you can sell for the highest valuation and attract the best buyers. Aside from the success of the exit itself, another major accomplishment and testament to the quality of the company was in growing a team of 100, ~95 of whom stayed with the company after the exit.

Over the past five years, since co-founding Idenfo and embarking on the entrepreneurial journey, I must confess that I have experienced real happiness. I agree that the well-being of citizens and colleagues holds equal or even greater significance than a country's GDP or a firm's profitability. The closing sentiment resonates deeply with me: "We become successful by what we get, but we become happy by what we give." I found the video and its storytelling quite insightful, which is why I am sharing it. #happiness #entrepreneurship #storytelling

Matt Frary got his start in online business during the dot com era. After graduating from business school and being unable to find a job, he went on an entrepreneurial journey that would have him building and selling five different online businesses. One thing he learned about himself was how he knew when it was time to sell. In his case, he loved the building and scaling phase but knew he was no longer the best person for his business once he grew it to the operational phase. He explains the difference between building a lifestyle business vs. a business you plan to exit. For those planning to exit, he emphasizes the importance of building businesses with a strong foundation, scalable solutions, and operating as if the company will be a large business in the future. He also discusses life after exiting, and making sure that, whether business or personal, you always have another “mountain to climb”.
