About the Book
Small Business Exit Lessons is a critical guide for small business tech entrepreneurs on a topic they often fail to consider: developing an exit mindset. This book helps business founders and owners set up, grow and run their businesses, ever mindful of the exit plan to successfully license or sell their company. Planning your successful exit from the beginning will build your business on a firm foundation, foster steady growth, reduce overhead, and help to ensure a successful exit.

This book includes the author’s advice and expertise gleaned from his decades running five businesses, selling two and licensing three. Included is feedback from other successful entrepreneurs, business buyers, and investors. There are case studies and review of his experiences, on a wide variety of topics, including assembling your team, marketing, funding, R&D, delegating, finding the right customers, negotiating deals, and life after selling the business. The book also features excerpts from actual agreements and an outline to help readers create their own exit plan.

Read this book to start, grow, and sell your business or license your technology.

“When I first met Shahri our startup was at a point where we had a strong and innovative idea, but we were having trouble getting the traction we needed to reach the next level of growth.  Shahri immediately recognized our potential and graciously offered his time and expertise which were crucial in providing us the lessons we needed to start reaching our financial goals.  To do this day we continue to rely on his insight and count him as one of our closest and oldest advisors.”–Paul Hodges, cofounder and president of Soltech Co., in Bethlehem, PA
