SUMMARY:CEOs: Build With AI\, Exit With a Premium
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://luma.com/7cin813l \nMost founders use AI to cut costs. Smart founders use it to double their exit price. \nLet’s be honest: everyone is obsessed with saving a few bucks using ChatGPT. But when it comes to selling your company\, buyers don’t care about your cool prompts\, they care about scalable\, defensible value. Right now\, most companies are building generic AI setups that anyone can copy\, missing the chance to secure a massive premium. \nJoin Blue People for an unfiltered\, no-BS session with David Lopez. \nDavid is here to help tech leaders and CEOs sober up from the AI hype and look at real valuation. He’ll break down why simply “using AI” isn’t enough\, and how to position your company so buyers pay a premium\, not a discount. \nKey Takeaways: \n– The AI Premium: Identify exactly what AI capabilities buyers pay top dollar for before you go to market.\n– The Multipliers: Implement the 3 AI strategic moves that actually multiply your company’s value.\n– Kill the Discount: Use AI systems to eliminate founder-dependency and make your business truly turn-key. \nStop treating AI like a basic productivity tool. Start building an asset that drives your exit. \nAbout David Lopez: \nDavid is a specialist in strategic growth and enterprise value. He helps CEOs transform operations through AI\, moving businesses away from founder-dependence and positioning them for high-value\, premium exits. \nDate & Time: Tuesday\, August 4th\, 2026 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM\nLocation: The Ion Houston Hosted by Blue People \n👉 Ask about our parking options at the end of the event!
