Most business owners who decide to sell never make it to completion – not because their business lacks value, but because the process is stacked against them.
In this workshop, Kirsty Sisson, founder of Born Ventures, explains why 99.2% of broker-led sales fail and what you can do differently. You’ll discover:
· The hidden obstacles that stop good businesses from selling
· How to view your company through a buyer’s lens and attract the right buyers
· How to structure the sale.
With over 20 years helping businesses scale and exit successfully, Kirsty provides insights that sellers rarely get from brokers or advisors. If you’re thinking about exiting in the next 24 months, this session will help you optimise your valuation and plan a smooth, strategic exit.
If you can’t join live, we’ll send a link to everyone who’s registered after the event so you can catch up whenever you like.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Speaker bio
Kirsty has spent over two decades helping businesses grow, scale, and transform. Watching others in the market, she has witnessed the valiant, yet limp, efforts of founders attempting to either grow or exit their businesses. Through her company Born Ventures, she pioneered a completely new approach to M&A. She works end-to-end, designing acquisitions that align buyers and sellers around real value, uncovering opportunities buyers didn’t even know existed, and helping sellers see their true worth. She brings strategy, creativity, and integrity to every deal — building trust, uncovering value, and designing deals that work in the real world.
Kirsty believes M&A can be a force for good: releasing “stuck” capital, continuing healthy ecosystems, facilitating new ideas, people and capital into them, and helping businesses grow while preserving the essence of what their founders built. It’s ambitious work, but for her, it’s simply the way business should be done.
