130: Making Extraordinary Exits Possible with Rob Follows The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

    • Business

Have you ever thought about what it would take to sell your business? Or what you’d even be able to get for it? The process can be overwhelming, and getting it right is crucial. But fear not, because in this episode, I’m joined by Rob Follows, the founder of STS Capital—a one-of-a-kind M&A firm that helps businesses achieve extraordinary exits.

Rob has been in the driver's seat for over a thousand mergers and acquisitions, with deals worth over $100B. When he sold his business for 27x EBITDA, he thought he had struck gold, only to find out later that the buyer would have paid a whopping 300% EBITDA. This experience led Rob to start STS Capital, which focuses on using strategic buyers to get the highest price for their clients.




In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ The benefits of going with a strategic buyer instead of VCs and private equity firms.

✅ How to cut out the middlemen, identify and engage with the right strategic buyers, and negotiate a deal that benefits everyone involved.

✅ The preparation required to 10x the value of your business and achieve an extraordinary exit.
