Summary

Today we’re talking to Harsh Patel, co-founder and CEO of MakerSquare. Harsh taught himself to code in his free time and then started his own coding boot camp with a friend. The company then went through multiple exits over the years, growing and growing. Some offers came to them and some offers were sought out. Some acquisitions were easy while others didn’t go as smoothly. Harsh has dealt with many exits, all more successful than the last, and today he shares what that looks like. -- The Exit - Presented By Flippa: A 30-minute podcast featuring expert entrepreneurs who have been there and done it. The Exit talks to operators who have bought and sold a business. You’ll learn how they did it, why they did it, and get exposure to the world of exits, a world occupied by a small few, but accessible to many.
