The Exit Foundry

At ExitFoundry, we are more than just M&A advisors — we are strategic partners dedicated to helping founder-led software companies achieve successful and profitable exits. Our approach is grounded in firsthand experience, driven by our founder’s own entrepreneurial journey.
In the 1990s, our principal co-founded a software company and helped steer it to a successful IPO, gaining invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of building and exiting a high-growth business.

Later, he co-founded eSecuritel, a pioneering insurance technology company that was acquired by Mainsail Partners, a leading San Francisco-based M&A firm. Most recently, he successfully sold an EHR SaaS company, further solidifying his expertise in navigating complex software exits.

These experiences shaped our understanding of the founder’s perspective — from building and scaling a business to making the right strategic exit. At ExitFoundry, we guide you through every stage of the M&A process — from strategy and packaging to outreach, negotiation, diligence, and closing. Our process is tailored to the unique needs of software companies, ensuring that your vision, value, and legacy are preserved throughout the journey.

We believe in hands-on support, transparent communication, and maximizing your outcome while minimizing the stress of the process. With ExitFoundry, you are not just working with advisors — you are partnering with a team that truly understands your path and is committed to making your next move a success.
