Jack Newton
CEO & Founder, Clio (Acquired Lawyaw, Calendarrules & Lexicata)

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.

Allen Lau
Co-Founder & CEO, Wattpad (Acquired by Naver)

TechExit.io is such an awesome event.

Laurie Schultz
Chair of the Board of Directors, Benevity (Former President & CEO of Galvanize – Acquired by Diligent Corporation for $1 Billion)

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.
