Sold Startups: Founders Who Built and Exited

Sold Startups: Founders Who Built and Exited

Wed, Jun 10, 6:00 PM
From Global AI Makers • AI CEOs, Founders, Makers
4.8

What does it actually take to build something worth buying? Most business content is about raising money, growing users, or surviving the early days. This event skips all of that and goes straight to the part most founders never reach: the exit. We bring together founders who built real businesses and sold them. Some closed in weeks. Some took years. Some used AI to build faster than any team could. Some bootstrapped with no outside funding and sold to a strategic buyer. Some built newsletter businesses, AI apps, SaaS tools, no-code platforms, vibe coding projects, and AI agent products that a larger company wanted enough to write a check for. Every founder in the series has something most startup content glosses over: a real number, a real timeline, and a real story about what the process actually felt like from the inside. This event is for founders at any stage, operators who want to understand what makes a business acquirable. Best for.... \- AI founders building without a technical team \- People who use tools like Cursor\, Base44\, Bolt\, Lovable\, and Replit \- Startup CEOs thinking about their first or next exit Each founder walks through what they built, who bought it, what the negotiation looked like, what they would do differently, and what they are working on now. No panels. No investor pitches. No surface-level advice. Just founders telling the truth about what it took to get to the other side. The audience is small and the questions are open. Come ready to ask the one you actually want answered. *Note: Date may change to accommodate guest speakers. Check this page for the most current information.*
