Close the company.
Protect what comes next.
PhoenixExit supports the structured wind-down of venture-backed and capitalized businesses where precision, stakeholder alignment, and reputational outcomes matter.
PhoenixExit works with founders and boards of capitalized companies where a deliberate wind-down is necessary and properly funded.
PhoenixExit runs the shutdown workplan end-to-end: stakeholders, compliance coordination, asset disposition, and closeout documentation, so partners and founders stay focused and reputations stay intact.
Weekly status reporting. Decision log. Document repository built for audit and future diligence.
We aim to preserve your reputation, protect your relationships, and ensure your exit is legally compliant and clean so you can focus on your next, big idea.
The Playbook
Preparation for Closure
We lock down spending, organize essential documents, and quietly prepare all legal, financial, and operational groundwork, without triggering panic or leaks.
Asset Liquidation and Liability Negotiations
From office leases to cloud storage bills, we renegotiate and liquidate physical and digital assets to preserve cash and avoid reputational damage from unpaid obligations.
Investor Communications
We craft messaging that preserves goodwill, sets expectations, and reinforces your leadership, even in wind-down. Calls are discreet, respectful, and clear.
Employee Communication and Offboarding Planning
We help you part ways with your team professionally and humanely. Clear communication, compliant paperwork, and severance planning are all included in our suite of available services.
Legal, Tax, and Compliance
We oversee every required filing, tax closure, and corporate resolution, ensuring the company is shut down cleanly, with no loose ends or future liability.
Reputation and Transition Support
We support you in exiting with dignity. From mental and physical health referrals and future planning to PR guidance, we ensure you walk away with your name, health, and confidence intact.
“Most startups don’t plan for their ending.”
When a shutdown is handled poorly, the consequences rarely stay contained. Lingering liabilities, unresolved obligations, or mismanaged stakeholder relationships can surface years later, often at the worst possible moment.
PhoenixExit exists to ensure that doesn’t happen.
We manage the close with precision and accountability, so your next chapter begins without legacy issues, reputational drag, or unfinished business.
We handle the end, deliberately, so you can move forward cleanly.
