Meet Your Host, Dan Bradbury
Entrepreneur, Investor & Private Equity Business Owner
Dan Bradbury is a serial entrepreneur and investor who specialises in scaling and exiting companies for life-changing paydays. His first seven-figure exit came in his twenties, and since then he’s been directly involved in 18 more. In just the last five months, he’s helped six business owners secure offers ranging from £1.5M to £6M.
After surviving a near-fatal Ironman crash in 2012 that left him in a coma, Dan rebuilt his life and his business philosophy around one core idea: freedom through optionality. He teaches founders how to build companies that run without them – profitable, predictable, and valuable businesses that can be sold, scaled, or held as cash-generating assets.
At Built To Exit, Dan hosts, teaches, and interviews every speaker, connecting each session to real-world execution. Expect direct, data-driven insights from someone who’s been on both sides of the deal table.
