A consultation · For a sale within a year
The 12-Month Exit Readiness Program.
The program is a consultation, not software. An advisor reads your numbers, tells you what a buyer will push on, and prepares you to go to market over twelve months.
- Week 1
Kickoff Review
45 minutes on your real numbers with an advisor who reads software businesses for a living.
- Week 2
Your Fix Plan
The three things a buyer would push on, each traced to the plan, cohort or customer behind it.
- Months 3, 6, 9
Quarterly check-ins
Is the fix showing up in the trailing numbers? If not, we change course.
- Month 12

Bright Vault itself is free while in early access, whether or not you join.
The guarantee
If your Kickoff Review doesn’t surface three things worth fixing, you get every dollar back.
Why now
Buyers read your last twelve months. A fix you make today takes a year to show up in them.
For scale: a fractional CFO typically runs $3,000 to $10,000 a month, and a sell-side quality-of-earnings report often costs $25,000 or more, after the sale has already started.
Who it’s for, and who it isn’t.
A good fit if
- You bill through Stripe.
- You plan to go to market in the next twelve months.
- You want someone who reads software businesses for a living to go through your numbers before a buyer does.
Not a fit if
- No sale in view. Use Bright Vault on its own; it’s free while in early access.
- Most of your revenue is billed outside Stripe. Bright Vault reads Stripe only.
- You want a promised sale price or multiple. Nobody can honestly promise that, and we don’t.
Why it exists
“I spend my days reading other founders’ numbers. The story hiding in one plan, one cohort or one big customer always surfaces too late.”
“I built and ran a SaaS company. Now I spend my days reading other founders’ numbers, and the same thing happens every time: the story hiding in one plan, one cohort or one big customer shows up too late to fix. Bright Vault is the read I wish they’d had years sooner.”
