How We Sold Our Company for $1.9 billion—and What Comes Next

Featuring Allison Ellsworth, Co-founder, Poppi and Stephen Ellsworth, Co-founder, Poppi

Nearly a year ago, Allison and Stephen Ellsworth made one of the biggest moves of their founder journey—selling their company in a $1.9 billion deal. Today, they’re still at the helm navigating what it really means to lead after a landmark transaction. In this conversation, they’ll unpack the journey to their acquisition, how leadership and accountability shift post-transaction, and what changes when you sell but stay. From navigating integration to protecting culture and momentum, this session offers a rare look at scaling within a new ownership structure and what founders should consider before signing the deal. And as they journey through this new chapter, they’ll share a look at what’s ahead.
