$100M Exits with Jason Kirby · 2026-04-30 · 46 min
He built a company, sold it, and suddenly had millions in the bank. Here’s what no one tells you about what comes next. He bootstrapped a health tech SaaS company for 10 years and sold it to Agilent Technologies. Sriram Gollapalli went from grinding as a founder to managing millions overnight - and realized that making money and managing money are two completely different games. In this episode, he breaks down what founders don’t expect after an exit: the pressure of sudden wealth, the trap of overthinking investments, and why so many founders freeze when cash is just sitting in the bank. He shares how choosing the right buyer goes beyond valuation, why culture fit matters more than most realize, and the biggest mistakes he sees founders make when trying to invest in their exit. If you’re a founder building toward an exit - or already have one - this is the side of the journey no one prepares you for.
