Ep. 11. Build Backwards: Scaling, Selling, and Closing the Exit Gap with Carrie Kerpen

On this episode of F3: Female Forward Finance, Jill Faherty Lloyd sits down with Carrie Kerpen, co-founder and CEO of The Whisper Group and exited co-founder of Likeable Media. Jill and Carrie explore what it takes to turn a business into life-changing wealth, and why so few women make it across the finish line. Carrie shares how she built Likeable from a wedding-day idea into a nationally recognized agency, then spent eight years engineering it to sell by taking herself out of the day-to-day. She breaks down the seven tenets of a highly sellable business, the psychology of exiting before you're "dead inside," and the very real cost of the questions you don’t ask during due diligence. The conversation also takes a closer look at the exit gap: why fully female-founded businesses represent less than 1% of total exits, and what women owners can do about it starting on the day they open their doors. For founders building toward a future transaction, or anyone thinking more seriously about what their business is worth, don’t miss this important episode.
