Accredant Founder Liquidity Practice

Accelerate Liquidity

Strategic exits for founder-led technology companies.

Most tech founders think about liquidity too late—after leverage has already shifted. We help profitable, founder-controlled technology companies accelerate liquidity through strategic exits while founders still control timing, structure, and outcome.

This is not about selling at all costs.
It's about converting execution into personal liquidity—deliberately and intelligently.

Founder discussing strategic exit options

Liquidity Is Often Highest Before You Feel Ready

By the time many founders "decide" to explore an exit, leverage has already moved—to investors, buyers, or the market. Another funding round can feel like momentum, but often delays liquidity while increasing dilution and risk.

We work with founders before fatigue sets in, when optionality still exists and outcomes are strongest.

Founders don't lose leverage overnight.
They lose it quietly—round by round.

What We Do

We advise founder-led technology companies on strategic alternatives, including minority or majority liquidity events, mergers, and acquisitions.

Our engagements are selective, senior-led, and outcome-driven.

Founder Liquidity Analysis

We help you understand what you'd actually walk away with, after dilution and structure—not just headline valuation.

Strategic Buyer Mapping

Before any outreach, we identify who would actually pay a premium—and why. Quality over quantity.

Timing & Leverage

We help you understand when your leverage is highest and how to structure the process to maximize it.

Controlled Processes

Confidential, targeted outreach—not broad auctions. Your identity protected until you decide.

Negotiation & Structuring

Deal terms aligned with founder economics—not just getting a deal done.

Net Founder Liquidity

Every engagement is designed around what actually matters: your net outcome after all the math.

We do not run volume processes.
Every engagement is designed around net founder liquidity.
