Not a coincidence. Symptoms of a system.

When a private equity firm acquires a software company, the intended playbook is clear: invest, grow, and sell within a specific holding period. But what happens when the exit market stalls, the acquisition debt pressure builds, and the plan runs long?

In Left Holding, Sayer P. Martin pulls back the curtain on the financial mechanics that can transform a healthy software business into a debt-servicing machine. Drawing from two decades on both sides of the table - as a senior leader inside PE-owned software companies and as an investor - he traces what happens when organizations drift from genuine product investment into margin harvesting.

The symptoms are predictable, observable, and costly. The roadmap stops shipping. The engineers leave. The price goes up. The support team disappears. The metrics make an impaired product look healthy on a slide. And everyone inside - employees, customers, leaders - is left holding something that no longer resembles what they signed up for.

The Nine-Signal Diagnostic at the heart of the book gives readers a tool for distinguishing healthy optimization from active extraction. The Expand Path appendix documents the companies that did the opposite - proving these outcomes are choices, not inevitabilities.

• For Employees: Decode the all-hands meeting, evaluate the company's trajectory, and calculate what your equity is actually worth beneath the liquidation waterfall.
• For Customers: Spot the signs of vendor decay, resist extraction pricing, and build leverage before your next negotiation.

You didn't design the system, but you have to navigate it. Left Holding is the field guide.
