Is something in your SaaS financial profile about to kill your exit?

In episode #391, Ben Murray breaks down the deal killers and valuation deducts that buyers look for in an exit process. Due diligence is all about de-risking for the acquirer, and any leap of faith on your data means a lower valuation or no deal at all. If you're a SaaS founder or CFO thinking about an acquisition, knowing these red flags before a buyer finds them is the difference between a premium multiple and a walked-away deal.

• Understand why customer concentration (one customer at 25% of revenue, or several at 20%) is one of the biggest valuation reducers, and how to calculate it from your MRR schedule today.
• See how unlimited usage pricing caps expansion revenue, and why mature product lines need other ways to grow within the existing customer base.
• Learn what AI defensibility means to buyers now building their own checklists, including per-seat pricing risk when agents replace users and why pricing is shifting toward API and usage models.
• Know why AI training data rights belong in your MSA alongside data privacy and security, especially for agentic or outcome-based products.
• Find out why many buyers apply a hard gross revenue retention threshold (such as 90% GRR), and how weak gross margin and a low Rule of 40 can stall a deal.

Tune in to find out what buyers will flag first, and fix it before your exit process starts.
