The Exponential Blueprint
Where founders learn to build the valuation their potential deserves.
Most entrepreneurs work hard.
Few build companies that investors fight to fund.
The difference is never luck — it’s architecture.
I’m Matteo Turi, a CFO and Board Advisor with 29+ years of experience across SaaS, energy, deep tech, cybersecurity, mining, commodities and biotech. I’ve helped companies raise over $500M, expand into global markets, secure quantum-safe technology deals, and execute M&A strategies across Europe, the US, Africa, and the Middle East.
But the pattern behind every successful company — from Disney to Amazon to Netflix — is the same:
👉 They monetise their IP
👉 They build leadership that outlives the founder
👉 They scale beyond geography
These three pillars form what I call The High Valuation Triangle — and everything I write is built around it.

What Makes This Newsletter Different
Most finance writing delivers information.
This newsletter delivers financial transformation.
I spent my entire career sitting in boardrooms, restructuring companies, building global expansion plans, negotiating with investors, and designing the valuation architecture behind successful exits.
This newsletter distils that experience into stories, principles, and strategies you can apply immediately — no jargon, no academic distance, just practical truths.
The High Valuation Triangle
Every business that grows beyond £5M…£20M…£50M…£100M does it through three moves:
1. Monetise Your Intellectual Property
IP is the most misunderstood driver of valuation. I teach you how to convert it into royalty streams, intangible assets, and investor leverage.
2. Build Succession & Leadership Depth
If the business depends on you, it will never scale.
If the business outgrows you, investors will scale it with capital.
3. Go Global
Local markets limit valuation.
International markets multiply it.
This newsletter shows you exactly how to implement all three.
