28 | Why Sell Your SaaS Business When You’re Winning?
Why would a founder sell their business when it’s thriving? It’s a question we hear often—and what we call the “entrepreneur’s dilemma.” In this episode, Managing Directors Mike Lyon and Jeff Bean unpack why selling during a growth phase, though counterintuitive, can lead to better outcomes. They discuss how buyers value momentum, the risks of holding on too long, and how founders can maximize value by leaning into growth.
