About this episode

"Your acres of diamonds are right in front of you waiting to be discovered." - Jeffrey Feldberg and Steve Wells

Jeffrey Feldberg and Steve Wells are the founders of Deep Wealth. The M&A journey for Jeffrey and Steve began when they said "no" to a 7-figure unsolicited offer. Immediately, the two said "yes" to mastering the art and science of a liquidity event. Two years later, Jeffrey and Steve said "yes" to a 9-figure offer. On the process, Jeffrey and Steve increased their company value 10X.

How did Jeffrey and Steve increase their company value 10X and go to a 9-figure liquidity event?

Jeffrey and Steve created a proven 9-step solution on how to successfully prepare. 

The Deep Wealth Experience has you learn the 9-steps of preparation in 90-days. At the end of the 90-days you have a launch plan and certainty that you capture the maximum value.
