Egos & Exits
A live conversation on how to sell, buy, or scale a consulting firm - without breaking it.
Consulting firms are in demand, but being bought (or trying to buy) has never been riskier. Between investor appetite, integration chaos, and founder fatigue, too many firms are being sold too early - or broken after the deal.
Koniag Capital CEO Allen Debes has been on both sides of the M&A table, and has the battle scars to prove it.
Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung scaled a tech consultancy to an exit - and almost sold it all too early.
Join Mark & Allen for a conversation on:
- How to turn a founder-dependent firm into a business worth buying - The operating model, leadership shape, and client risk profile buyers are looking for
- The 3 most common deal-killers — and how to fix them before diligence – Founder ego, billable-only business models, and leadership over-dependence
- A 12-month playbook for building a firm that outlasts you – Governance shifts, platform thinking, and preparing your team for life post-exit
