Most Founders Walk In Already Behind

Here's how it goes for most founders heading into a first exit. The buyer opens with a number that feels like validation for everything you built — so you sign a one-page LOI to lock it in. Exclusivity closes behind you. Sixty days later the price quietly drops, the terms harden, and the leverage you walked in with is gone. It isn't bad luck. It's the buyer's playbook, and it works because the skills that built your company were never the skills for selling it. Your leverage peaks before you sign the LOI — every move after that is defense. This masterclass is how you stop being one more founder who learns that too late.

Meet Clay Chamberlain

Clay built Locking in Leverage because he has watched too many founders get blindsided at the finish line. Losing millions. Losing face. Losing sleep.

He's spent the last 15 years inside the deals most founders only see once. More than 50 transactions. Close to a billion dollars in total deal value. And the rare experience of having sat on both sides of the table.

As General Counsel for three PE-backed energy companies, Clay was the one running the buyer's playbook. He watched private equity firms use exclusivity as a weapon, slow-rolling sellers into retrades and giving up positions they should have locked in months earlier. That seat taught him exactly which moves work and which ones a sharp seller can shut down.

As Managing Director of Pure View Group, Clay now uses that same playbook in reverse. He works almost exclusively with 8-figure exits in middle-market deals, mostly in the $10 to $50 million revenue range, with deep specialization in energy sector transactions. His clients walk into negotiations knowing what to defend and which leverage points they can afford to trade.

He calls them magic-making founders. The ones who built something real, who'd become a story of what NOT to do if they handled their exit the way most founders do. Big Exit Insiders and Locking in Leverage were built so they don't have to be that story.

Locking in Leverage is the masterclass version of how Clay protects his transaction clients. The same frameworks. The same playbook. Built so founders can walk into negotiations with clarity, confidence and control no matter who's across the table.

Clay's expertise has been featured in continuing legal education materials produced by the top transaction attorneys in the country. He's licensed in Oklahoma and Texas. J.D. from Washington University in St. Louis.
