In 20 years, he never paid out once. Then he sold for millions. Come hear how.About this EventMost vendors who try to sell into the nonprofit world fail, not because their product isn't good, but because they never took the time to understand how nonprofits actually work. The budgets are different. The decision-making is different. The rules are different and if you get it wrong, you won't get a second chance.Elias spent 20 years figuring all of that out and built a software company so effective he backed every engagement with a 10–12% profitability guarantee. In two decades, he never had to honor it. Then he sold the company for millions.Join us for a fireside chat as Elias sits down with Doug Kim, founder of the Kim, Lahey & Killough Law Firm who was there from the earliest days of the company through the closing of the sale, to unpack the full story.What you'll walk away withWhy the $3.7 trillion nonprofit sector is wide open for vendors who get it rightWhat it takes to build something guarantee-worthyHow to sell into a fragmented, budget-constrained market and still winWhat a successful exit looks like and what comes afterThis is for you if...You run a service business, agency, or consultancy and want to growYou're building something and want to hear from someone who took it all the way to exitYou're curious about the nonprofit sector as an untapped marketYou're a nonprofit leader who wants to better evaluate outside vendorsSCHEDULECheck-in: 4:30 pmPresentation + Q&A: 4:40-5:30 pmNetworking: 5:30-6:30 pm**Light bites and drinks providedSign up for the to be the first to know about upcoming events!About i4 SeriesGreenville's business conversation for people who build things — connecting entrepreneurs, operators, and innovators across the Upstate.Innovation • Intelligence • Industry • Involvement https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2e7d64b0-36bb-11f1-94cc-3b4f07bbef99-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/greenville/build-it-guarantee-it-sell-it-a-founders-unfiltered-story/100001987167145425 - **Event Categories**: business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Greenville - **state**: SC - **country**: United States - **location**: Flywheel Coworking Greenville - **lat**: 34.87575 - **long**: -82.404878 - **full address**: Flywheel Coworking Greenville, 25 Goldsmith Street, Greenville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Build it.
