Looking For The Exit

A Guide To Navigating Startups And Scaling Success

By Charles Morgan

Overview

This book is for the founder who had to figure it out without a blueprint. Looking for the Exit is a bold guide for underrepresented entrepreneurs building businesses inside a system that wasn't built for them. If you've ever been underestimated in a pitch meeting, told your market was too niche, or had to bootstrap longer than your peers, this book meets you with strategy, not sympathy. From funding and scaling to exits and legacy, it offers real-world tools, founder stories, and frameworks built for the barriers and breakthroughs that others often ignore. Whether you're raising your first round or planning your next move, this is your roadmap to building with power, purpose, and long-term value. It's also for those working to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem - business school students, VCs, angels, and allies who want to invest more equitably, support more effectively, and understand what the journey really looks like. Build what lasts. On your terms.
