My partners and I founded a design strategy company called Modernist Studio, and in the peak of our growth, we sold the company.

I had no idea what I was doing, and I constantly felt like I was doing it wrong. I wished there were examples and case studies I could learn from that were specifically about creative services companies.

This book—primarily made up of a series of interviews with founders who have sold design and strategy consultancies—is the set of conversations that I wish I could have read prior to selling my own company. You’ll hear from people who built companies from scratch, who navigated complex financial processes, who negotiated (some better, and some worse), and who exited their services business a little richer and a lot wiser.
