Acquirable Podcast Ep. 014 - Jim Amundson, former Partner of Hope-Amundson Structural Engineers

🎙 When an Engineering Firm Sells Most engineering founders never imagine selling their firms — and even fewer spark a wave of acquisitions across an entire industry. In this episode of the Acquirable Podcast, Jim Amundson, former Partner at Hope-Amundson Structural Engineers, shares the unexpected chain reaction that began with one pivotal decision: exploring an external sale. Jim walks through the early conversations, the surprising interest from buyers, and the moment he realized a transition outside the firm might actually serve the business best. He offers a clear, honest look at evaluating fit, navigating working-capital surprises, and redefining your role once you’re no longer the final decision-maker. This conversation is grounded, generous, and deeply insightful — especially for founders thinking about a future exit. Jim brings forward lessons on building a people-first culture, preparing the organization for new ownership, and finding clarity in the chapter that comes after the deal closes.
