Trying to sell a small business is like navigating without a map. Most owners only do it once, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In our latest Coffee with a Founder episode, BAM’s Beck Bamberger, PhD sits down with Chat Joglekar, CEO of Baton, a platform where real people can sell their small businesses. Forget the usual founder mythology: Chat opens up about starting his company after years in big tech, juggling life with three kids and a partner deep in her own career, and what success really means (spoiler: it has less to do with exits and more to do with raising good humans.) “I think my answer to what success is, is really just making a dent in the universe. And I think of it in two different ways. How does Baton and my career in some ways make a dent to where, you know, even after I retire and leave, or I'm an executive chairman at the company, whatever it is, it's something that people know about and care about and think has done good in the world." – Chat Joglekar Get into the real stories behind exits, second acts, and family ties: https://hubs.la/Q03njLSz0
