Today I’m interviewing David Lemphers. He's built and exited 4 companies including ZenDeals which was acquired by RetailMeNot for $18M & Code Pilot which acquired by AngelList.

David has such an interesting insight into the acquisition process having gone through it multiple times. He’s a phenomenal systems thinker with a lot of frameworks for navigating exits, building companies and life in general.
