Muriel Touati

Muriel Touati is the founder of Exit 3D Studio, a New York-based growth firm that helps founder-led service businesses build a business that runs without them — with a done-for-you acquisition engine that reduces founder dependency, customer concentration, and revenue unpredictability, working from the buyer's side of the table.

In 2025, she shifted her focus to acquisitions, signing over a hundred NDAs, accessing data rooms, submitting letters of intent, and working through SBA financing on deals that revealed the same structural problems, again and again. That experience became the foundation of The Valuation Gap.

A French entrepreneur based in Manhattan since 2021, Muriel previously built L'Accélérateur LinkedIn, a training program for independent consultants across Europe. She is still looking to buy a business, and hosts a bi-weekly gathering for entrepreneurs in New York.
