PeerExit: The Founder's Cohort — Frequently Asked Questions

What is PeerExit – The Founder’s Cohort?

PeerExit is an 8-week, invite-only virtual cohort designed for business owners planning to sell in the next 6–24 months. It provides everything you need to prepare for a premium exit without paying six-figure fees, including strategy sessions, financial recasting, legal guidance, and peer support.

Who is this cohort for?

It’s specifically for serious business owners planning to exit in the next 6–24 months. It’s not for startups, buyers, or early-stage dreamers — just owners looking to maximize their exit value.

What do I get as a cohort member?

Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Exit Strategy: 1-on-1 strategy sessions, exit timeline, and value gap assessment
  • Financial Recast & Valuation: Done-for-you financial recast, business valuation report, buyer-ready financial package
  • Legal & Wealth Strategy: M&A attorney call, private wealth advisory session, red flag review
  • Systems & Documentation: SOP starter pack, due diligence templates, CIM & teaser tools
  • Peer Support: Weekly Zoom calls, live feedback, and Slack access
  • Buyer-Readiness Framework: Positioning your business for strategic and financial buyers
  • Priority Deal Review (optional): Includes buyer matching and early interest strategy
How much does it cost?

The Founder’s Cohort is currently priced at $9,497 for early members. Future cohorts will be $15,000. This fee can be fully credited toward your M&A success fee if you decide to go to market with PeerExit.

What is the 'Deal-Ready Guarantee'?

Complete the program and still don’t feel ready to go to market? PeerExit will take your business to market with a capped success fee — just 3% of your final sale price or $30,000, whichever is greater, for deals up to $5M. This can save you up to $290,000 compared to traditional broker fees.

Are there any additional benefits?

Yes! You also get:

  • 10% Donation to Aiea High School PTSO – $949.70 of your cohort fee supports scholarships and academic support for students.
  • Referral Program – Earn 20% commission ($1,899.40) for every successful referral into the cohort.
How is PeerExit different from a traditional broker?

PeerExit isn’t a brokerage or consulting firm. It’s a deal-prep war room — a structured peer group designed to help owners sell without giving up equity or paying high success fees. You’ll get strategic guidance, peer support, and real-world tools without the bloat or pressure.

What’s included in the buyer-readiness framework?

It’s a step-by-step system to make your business attractive to buyers, covering key factors like concept, cash flow, capacity, process, people, and continuous improvement.

What if I want to sell with PeerExit after completing the cohort?

You can upgrade to full representation, with your cohort fee fully credited toward your success fee, which is capped at 3% or $30,000 — a significant savings compared to the typical $100K+ success fees.
