The Deep Wealth Podcast - Unlock Your Deep Wealth In Business and Life How To Avoid Committing The Worst Mergers And Acquisitions Mistakes (#21)
"In M&A every mistake you make takes your hard-earned money and puts it in your buyers pocket." - Jeffrey Feldberg and Steve Wells
Jeffrey Feldberg and Steve Wells are the founders of Deep Wealth. Deep Wealth is an M&A advisory services preparing business for their exits.
Deep Wealth has two mandates for business owners. First, showing business owners how to protect themselves on their exits. Second, enabling business owners to maximize enterprise value.
Feldberg and Wells know a thing or two about exits with their eLearning company Embanet. An experienced buyer presented a 7-figure 3-times EBITDA unsolicited offer to buy Embanet. Feldberg and Wells said "no" to the unsolicited offer.
Instead, the two said "yes" to mastering the art and science of selling a business. Two years later, Feldberg and Wells, welcomed a 9-figure exit based on 13-times EBITDA.
Business owners are dreamers, the make-it-happen people, and the change-makers. It's us business owners who put everything on the line and win against all the odds. So, why is it that as business owners, we’re at the losing end when selling our companies?
The six-week Deep Wealth Experience is a proprietary system. At the core are the strategies and exit playbook that created the 9-figure exit. Take your experience to the next level with a private mastermind group. Enjoy peace-of-mind from your live success coach who walks you through the system step-by-step. The only "silly" question is the one that isn't asked. Finally, benefit for the in-the-trenches experience of Feldberg and Wells.
