Tech M&A Today: Growth, AI, and the Power of Optionality. In a market driven by rapid change and strategic pivots, optionality isn’t just a luxury, it’s necessity.
This Year’s Focus: Optionality is King
Since 2017, TechExit.io has been the essential event for tech entrepreneurs and dealmakers to master the art of exits.
In 2025, the game is changing; AI, secondaries, and optionality are reshaping the landscape. This year, it’s not just about preparing for a single deal, it’s about staying ready for anything.
Learn how to keep every door open, maximize every move, and shape your company’s future on your terms.
Join us for tactical case studies, proven frameworks, and real-world insights from those who’ve done it.

Laurie Schultz
Chair of the Board of Directors, Benevity (Former President & CEO of Galvanize – Acquired by Diligent Corporation for $1 Billion)
The value at TechExit.io is hearing on the ground stories from founders who have sold their companies and being surrounded by a network of people who know the upsides and downsides of selling a company.
Jack Newton
CEO & Founder, Clio (Acquired Lawyaw, Calendarrules & Lexicata)
What I like about this event is the experience of sharing behind-the-scene stories that you wouldn’t be able to Google or read in the news. People are sharing their stories very authentically and transparently.
