Timing the Sale of Your Company

Timing is everything when it comes to selling your company. In fact, 50% of the value you receive from a sale can hinge on when you choose to sell. Reflecting on recent extraordinary market conditions—such as GameStop’s unprecedented surge to $300 a share in 2021, the NFT boom with $500,000 Bored Apes, and the influx of over a thousand SPACs—we see how crucial timing can be in maximizing your company’s worth.

By analyzing key market indicators like IPO activity and investment trends, the TTSI provides actionable insights into the optimal timing for exiting your business.

To navigate this daunting step, Colin C. Campbell developed the Time to Sell Index (TTSI). This index is designed to help entrepreneurs make informed decisions about when to sell their startups by leveraging empirical data. By analyzing key market indicators like IPO activity and investment trends, the TTSI provides actionable insights into the optimal timing for exiting your business.
