The Exit
Bootcamp
For e-commerce founders doing $1M to $20M yearly revenue that are preparing to exit
27 - 29 AUGUST 2026 · STORA RULLINGEN, STOCKHOLM
The Premise
Founders spend years building. Almost none of them prepare for the exit.
Build it. Scale it. Now exit on your terms. A two-night founders' mastermind near Stockholm, 27–29 August 2026. The 12 value drivers that decide your multiple. Know and work on the 12 key valuation drivers that increase multiple and valuation when exiting to e-commerce acquirers.
You arrive with a brand. You leave with a clear, 12 month plan to ensure a premium multiple and more cash at close.
The Framework
The 12 drivers that move your multiple.
Every workshop block maps to the framework. By the close of Day Three, every founder has scored all twelve against their own brand - with a candid valuation range.
- 1. Revenue trend
- 2. Recurring revenue mix
- 3. Gross margin
- 4. Contribution margin
- 5. Blended ROAS / MER
- 6. LTV : CAC
- 7. Repeat purchase rate
- 8. Email / SMS share
- 9. Owner dependency
- 10. Channel concentration
- 11. Financial documentation
- 12. Age, IP & brand moat
The Agenda
An hour-by-hour map.
Day One - Arrival & the frame

The Venue
Stora Rullingen.
The whole island. Ours.
An exclusive private island on Lake Mälaren - an hour from Stockholm and five minutes by private boat from the mainland at Strängnäs. Three lodges, a private harbour, ~5 km of private shoreline, forest, wildlife and a Viking-age monument.
The seclusion is the point. No distractions. Pure focus. Staying present.

Capped at a small cohort to keep it focussed and hands on.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Who is eligible to attend?+
E-commerce founders doing $1M to $20M+ in yearly revenue - Shopify DTC, Amazon FBA, subscription / replenishment, or software-adjacent - who are planning to exit within the next 6 months to 2 years. Each application is reviewed personally to confirm fit on both sides.
How are founders selected?+
Apply via the form above. Dominic reviews every application personally and, if it looks like a fit, books a short qualifying call to confirm your business stage, timeline and goals match the cohort. Seats are limited to 16 to keep the room high-touch.
What is the time commitment?+
Three days on the island: arrive Thursday 27 August from 13:00 and depart after lunch on Saturday 29 August. Expect roughly half the time in structured workshops and hot seats; the rest is island activities, recovery and unstructured peer time. A short pre-call with Dominic and a Founder Workbook (last 24 months of P&L, revenue by channel, key metrics) ship two weeks ahead.
What is the investment?+
€4,200 all-inclusive - accommodation on the private island, all meals, island experiences, workshop materials and follow-up. Private boat transfer from the Strängnäs mainland jetty is included. Helicopter transfer from Stockholm is available on request at an additional surcharge.
Where in Stockholm is the venue?+
Stora Rullingen, a private island on Lake Mälaren - about one hour from central Stockholm and five minutes by private boat from the mainland at Strängnäs. Fly into Stockholm Arlanda; group transfer or self-drive to the Strängnäs jetty, then the private boat to the island.
Is it confidential?+
Yes. Chatham House rules across the room. Numbers, strategies and exit conversations stay inside the cohort.
What if I'm earlier than 6 months from exit?+
The bootcamp is designed for founders 6 months to 2 years out. Earlier than that and the lift on multiple is most often the biggest. Mention your timeline on the application.
What happens after the bootcamp?+
Dated follow-up rhythm with accountability partners. When your milestones are met, Dex steps back in to help finalise the exit - including complimentary Exit Readiness sessions.
