Built from inside the advisory relationship.

IQExit™ was not designed by outside observers. It was built from decades of experience across M&A advisory, business research, financial services, institutional technology, and partnership development—grounded in the trusted relationships where business owners first reveal their intent.

Technology can be built. The decades of pattern recognition behind it cannot be easily replicated.

Tully Ryan

Tully Ryan is the founder and architect of IQExit™ — the platform, the category, and the thesis that the exit economy’s first-mile problem is an intelligence problem, not an execution one. With 30+ years across M&A advisory, financial services, and venture-backed technology, he built IQExit™ from inside the advisory relationship as Managing Director of Murphy Business, advising on lower middle market sell-side, buy-side, and strategic engagements of $1M–$50M. Co-inventor of U.S. Patent No. 7,904,372 and author of the IQExit™ Buyer Landscape Intelligence series, cited at the Murphy Business national conference in 2026.
