WHY THIS EXISTS
Nine Figure Exits was built because the best community for operators building real businesses toward real exits didn’t exist. So we made it.
THE ROOM THAT DIDN'T EXIST
Here’s what we kept seeing: Operators running $30M, $50M, $100M businesses in manufacturing, trades, and services — the backbone of the American economy — had nowhere to go. EO and YPO are too broad. The podcast world is full of people who’ve never built anything. And most “communities” are either full of coaches selling to each other or so big that the conversations are worthless.
Meanwhile, PE firms are asking every portfolio company about AI readiness, exit multiples are compressing for unprepared sellers, and the operators who need help the most are the ones with the least time to find it.
Nine Figure Exits is the answer. A curated room of vetted operators, active dealmakers, and exited founders who share real numbers, real playbooks, and real lessons. Organized around four pillars. Powered by a content engine (the podcast) that demonstrates the caliber of who’s inside. No courses. No fluff. Just the room you wish existed when you were figuring this out alone.
DOUG FOLEY
Founder, Nine Figure Exits · CEO, Foley Media · Managing Partner, 528 Partners
Doug Foley is the founder of Foley Media, an AI consulting firm that helps PE-backed and growth-stage companies build the go-to-market systems that drive exit-ready valuations. His clients range from $20M revenue service companies to $200M manufacturing platforms — all focused on the same question: how do I make this business more valuable and less dependent on me?
He’s the international bestselling author of AI Sales Engine, which lays out the methodology behind implementing AI in sales and revenue operations for companies that aren’t in Silicon Valley. The book became the foundation for Foley Media’s consulting practice and the AI pillar inside Nine Figure Exits.
Doug is a TEDx speaker and has advised companies across manufacturing, home services, specialty trades, distribution, and industrial services on AI-powered go-to-market strategy. He launched 528 Partners as a focused M&A vehicle for specialty trade contractor acquisitions — bringing the operator-side perspective to deal-making.
Nine Figure Exits came from a simple observation: the operators doing $20M–$200M in revenue — the ones actually building the economy — didn’t have a community that matched their level. The podcast gives them a reason to pay attention. The community gives them a reason to stay. The four pillars give them a framework to get where they’re going.
