MASTR.For founders planning to sell
Close the Exit Gap.
Buyers pay less for businesses that depend on the founder. The Mastr Exit Board gets you ready before you sell: two Boards of ten founders, meeting every month. Each Board has its own experienced chair, Lauren Hall or Phillip Di Bella, who have each been through multiple exits.
- Find your Exit Gap across founder reliance, processes, people and scale
- A plan for you and your executive team, tracked month by month
- A chair who has been through multiple exits, and nine other founders on the same path

There are two Exit Boards, each with ten founders and its own chair. Tell us about your business and we will call you to talk through a seat.
Thanks, we have your details.
Someone from the Mastr Exit Board team will call you to talk about a seat. Meanwhile, the Exit Gap Scorecard takes about 5 minutes and shows where a buyer would find the biggest gap.

Most founders who want to sell have not prepared to.
A buyer pays for what is left when you walk out. The work that raises the price takes months, and it starts years before a sale.

Four gaps a buyer looks for.
Founder reliance
Buyers pay for what is left when you walk out. If key customers, decisions and deals all run through you, they price it in. At the table: a map of everything that depends on you, and a handover plan tracked monthly.
Processes
What lives in your head cannot be handed over, tested or valued. At the table: your core processes written down, monthly numbers you act on, and a mock due diligence before a buyer runs the real one.
People
Buyers pay for the team that stays and can run the business. At the table: a second line of leaders, retention for the people a buyer will ask about, and signed agreements that assign work to the company.
Scale
Buyers pay for predictable, repeatable growth they can verify. At the table: recurring revenue you can evidence, customer risk spread across accounts, and a growth plan a buyer can test.
Why a Board
Ten founders per Board and a monthly rhythm, so the work gets done.
A plan, not good intentions
You leave each session with actions, and you report on them at the next one.
A chair who has done it
Each Board is chaired by Lauren Hall or Phillip Di Bella, who have each been through multiple exits.
Founders on the same path
Nine others working on their own exit, who know what it takes and what gets in the way.
Your executive team involved
An implementation plan for the founder and for the executive team who will run the business after you.
A buyer's view, early
