How to Sell Your Business to Private Equity Without Giving Up Control [Episode 204]

Most founders want to sell their business someday.

But very few actually build something that’s sellable.

In this episode of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, Doug C. Brown sits down with Alexis Sikorsky — a founder who exited a software business for over $100M — to break down how to prepare for private equity without giving up control.

We cover:

✅ What buyers actually value

✅ How to make your company less dependent on you

✅ When to start preparing (it’s not when you think)

✅ The mindset shift that separates $5M businesses from $50M ones

✅ What it really means to “dress the bride”

This is essential listening if you’re building toward freedom, scale, or a potential exit.
