Many founders wait for the “perfect moment” to sell or fixate on hitting a specific valuation target, but both can lead to missed opportunities. In this episode, Sarah Letourneau from Goldman Sachs joins Mike Lyon to discuss the most common mistakes they see founders make on the path to an exit; from waiting too long to run a process, to anchoring on a headline number, to assembling the wrong deal team. They share how to plan ahead, build the right advisors around you, and make informed decisions that support both your transaction and your life after the deal.
