Properly managing the relationship with the outgoing seller is likely to be among your most important tasks within your first 6 months as the new CEO. I say this because a non-functional (or worse, a toxic) relationship between the incoming and outgoing owners has the potential to damage a company more than customers leaving, employees quitting, or competitors fear-mongering ever could. To help us better understand the perspective of a selling Founder, I was joined this week by three founders, all of whom chose to sell their companies to a Search Fund within the past few years. Joining me today is Alicia Browner (Founder of Prelude), David Marshall (Founder of Performio), and Robert Day (Founder of Integrity Advocate).
