Sometimes, Selling the Business Can Be the Right Decision with Nikin Shah

In this episode, host Amelia Renkert-Thomas welcomes Nikin Shah, founding partner at Front Porch Venture Partners. Nikin shares his personal journey of growing up around his family’s business, co-leading it with his brother and ultimately making the decision to sell.

Together, they explore the emotional, strategic and financial dimensions of selling a family business — challenging the notion that selling equals failure. Nikin offers insights into how families can redeploy their capital post-sale and how the experience shaped his own path forward.

Whether you’re a family business owner, advisor or student of enterprise governance, this conversation offers valuable lessons on leadership, legacy and letting go.
