About Nate Lind – The Deal Wizard Behind Maximum Exit
I’m Nate Lind—business broker, serial entrepreneur, and founder of Maximum Exit. My mission is simple: help owners of digital, internet, and technology-driven businesses sell for top dollar—with clarity, confidence, and strategic firepower.
I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to grind for years building something from scratch, scale it through sleepless nights and creative sprints, and wonder, “What’s this all worth—and how do I actually cash out?”
Before I started brokering deals, I built and sold multiple eCommerce and digital businesses of my own. I’ve generated over $100 million in personal product sales, hired and fired, lived through Amazon algorithm shifts, team drama, financing hurdles, burnout—you name it. That’s why I don’t just understand the numbers. I understand the founder mindset. I know the emotional weight of an exit and the traps that can destroy a deal at the finish line.
So I built Maximum Exit to solve the biggest pain point most founders face: selling their business the smart way.
Why I Do What I Do
The M&A world is full of sharks, spreadsheets, and silence. Sellers are often treated like commodities. Brokers often act like order takers or real estate agents trying to close fast and move on.
That’s not my style.
I view each deal as a handcrafted, high-stakes collaboration. You bring the company; I bring the strategy, packaging, buyer network, negotiation skills, and relentless advocacy to get you the best possible outcome.
This isn{t just about closing a transaction. It’s about closing your chapter on your terms—with a big payday, a smooth transition, and zero regrets.
Who I Serve
I specialize in working with:
Founders and partners of eCommerce brands (Shopify, Amazon FBA, DTC)
Owners of SaaS, lead generation, and digital service firms
Entrepreneurs in digital marketing, content, and creator economies
Agencies and niche tech companies with $3M–$30M valuations
Sellers exploring SBA, Private Equity, strategic exits, or partner buyouts
My ideal clients are experienced, smart operators who want a trusted advisor who gets it—and who’s not afraid to go toe-to-toe with buyers, lenders, or attorneys when things get messy.
What Makes Me Different
Founder-First: I’ve sold businesses I built with my own sweat. I understand your emotional rollercoaster and help you navigate it with strength and clarity.
Battle-Tested: I’ve sold over $150 million in businesses and walked clients through multi-stage negotiations, buyer ghosting, cold feet, lender reversals, and closing table curveballs.
Strategic, Not Salesy: I don{t just list your business and hope. I build a custom campaign targeting strategic buyers, using powerful messaging and positioning to drive up interest—and price.
Creative Deal Structuring: Earnouts. Equity rollovers. Performance bonuses. I help you structure deals that reflect your true value, protect your downside, and increase your upside.
Relentless Follow-Through: Weekly calls, momentum management, buyer vetting, emotional intelligence—I do what it takes to get the deal done.
