Preparing you for the biggest decision in your professional life—Impacting you, your family, your employees, and the greater community.

What to Expect

Gain insights and resources often available only through high-priced consultants—while developing a confidential cohort of fellow owners who understand the unique challenges of transitioning in manufacturing.

Program Structure

• Bootcamp (12 weeks): A high-level overview where you learn what needs to be done—from legal and financial frameworks to succession and operations. It's about getting the "big picture" before you dive into the details.
• Deep Dive Sessions (8 additional modules): Now that you know what you need, we'll show you how to do it. Each deep dive focuses on a specific area (i.e. data-room prep, tax implications, leadership continuity), breaking down the firehose of information into manageable steps.

Our Underwriters: Supporting Education and Legacy

We believe in underwriting rather than sponsorship—meaning our program is supported by generous contributions from trusted advisors and industry experts who care about manufacturing's future. Each underwriter demonstrates a genuine commitment to our mission, helping subsidize the program so we can keep costs low for owners.

Subject Matter Expert Community
