“This is the most useful book I’ve ever read on how to think about startup exits. Touraj Parang makes a compelling case for entrepreneurs and investors to talk early and openly about options for acquisition.”

— Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THINK AGAIN and host of the TED podcast WorkLife

“The best founders are mission-driven and motivated more by impact than an exit. But the final mile cannot be traversed by the unprepared. In this book, Touraj sheds a rare spotlight on how to manage one of the most important decisions in a founder’s career.”

— Scott Belsky, Founder of Behance (sold to Adobe), Author of The Messy Middle

“Exit Path is a must-read primer for everyone in the startup ecosystem. It elegantly blends Touraj's experience with illustrative case studies of notable M&A transactions, complemented by insights from philosophy, psychology, and behavioral economics.”

— Lily Sarafan, cofounder and executive chair of TheKey; board member at Stanford University, Instacart, and Thumbtack

“The happy ending for every startup story includes an IPO or acquisition. In Exit Path, Touraj provides an end-to-end blueprint on how great businesses achieve great exits”
