Help build the transaction-readiness infrastructure for Europe's SME ownership transition.
ExitDiligence is building an AI-native platform that helps SME owners prepare for successful business sales and ownership transitions.
Professional acquirers rely on institutional due diligence methodologies developed across hundreds of transactions. Most business owners experience the process only once. We believe this information asymmetry is one of the largest structural inefficiencies in the SME transaction market.
Our mission is to make institutional transaction readiness accessible to every business owner.
We're now looking for our first Founding Engineer to help build the core technology platform.
