Key Takeaways
The 'Me Also' strategy involves browsing business brokerages like Quiet Light to find proven, profitable business models and replicating them rather than inventing something new.
For billion-dollar outcomes, founders should seek 'technical risk' (can it be built?) over 'demand risk' (will people buy it?), as seen in industries like warehouse automation and robotics.
Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) is a powerful tax tool that allows founders to shield up to $10 million in capital gains from federal taxes, creating a niche opportunity for specialized advisory services.
