For Founders
So You're Thinking About Selling?
Selling your business is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. We understand the weight of that decision—and what's at stake.
You've built something valuable. You've earned the trust of utility customers who don't give that trust easily. You've built a team that knows this work inside and out. And you want to make sure all of that continues after you're gone.
That's exactly what Stack is built for.
