Don’t Do This: Why My Deal Died

Every founder thinks their deal is solid… until it suddenly isn’t. This session unpacks the most common (and avoidable) deal killers that take transactions off the rails — from messy financials and misaligned expectations to diligence surprises, culture gaps, and last-minute valuation wobbles. You’ll hear real stories, hard lessons, and practical guidance on what to flag early, what to fix before you ever enter a data room, and how to keep a buyer engaged all the way to the finish line. If you’re gearing up to sell, this is your unofficial “don’t do this” playbook.
