The Million-Dollar Exit Strategy for App Founders

The Million-Dollar Exit Strategy for App Founders

In this episode, we’re joined by Evelin Herrera, founder of the leading mergers & acquisitions firm for mobile apps and games. She helps hundreds of app founders navigate five to eight-digit exits and is the go-to voice when it comes to valuing, marketing, and selling apps.

Evelin is the founder of EHVM, better known from the site www.evelinherrera.com, where more than 100 apps are listed for sale, and the creator of The Mobile Club, a community of app founders, investors, and operators.

She breaks down what makes an app “EPIC”, the kind of product that gets serious exit multiples. From retention and community to branding, valuation metrics, and due diligence, Evelin shares what buyers are looking for.

If you’ve ever thought about selling your app, this is the roadmap you didn’t know you needed.

You will discover:

✅ What makes an app “EPIC” and worth a 7-figure exit

✅ The MOATs that boost your app’s valuation

✅ Why branding, retention & community are make-or-break

✅ How to prepare for a successful app exit or acquisition
