Canada’s Value Creation Conference

Value creation is a discipline. Exit is one of its outcomes. The company built to be worth buying is the same company that can raise, acquire, and negotiate every deal from strength.

In Vancouver, that discipline crosses borders. Cross-border habits from building next door to Seattle. Capital efficiency from engineering costs well below San Francisco. Global-first conviction from Asia-Pacific proximity and a talent pool that arrives that way.

Clio built US$3B in value without exiting, then acquired vLex for roughly US$1B, the largest legal tech acquisition on record. Copperleaf realized C$1B to IFS in January 2024 on a US$900M Series F. Carbon Engineering sold to Occidental for US$1.1B. Galvanize realized US$1B to Diligent. Svante raised US$318M to scale carbon capture. Vancouver is where Canadian software builds for the Pacific and realizes value in multiple currencies.

Every Session At TechExit.io Maps To One Of Three Disciplines

Clean financials. Unit Economics. Defensible product. Team depth.

The foundational work that makes a company real before anyone makes an offer. At TechExit.io, we sharpen all four whether you’re early, growing, or scaling.

Valuation drivers. Deal terms. Diligence realities.

Why two similar companies get very different valuations.  AQ is a competency. Canadian founders have been building it at TechExit.io since 2017.

Relationships with operators, capital partners, and acquirers.

Optionality isn’t indecision. It’s leverage. TechExit.io is for founders who plan the moves that maximize value, not the deals accepted when options run out.

TechExit.io is such an awesome event.

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.

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.

All of the stakeholders are under one roof and this is a great opportunity to meet everybody – advisors, investors, people on both buying & selling sides, and to learn from their experience.
