At some point in the life of a successful venture-backed company, there will be a liquidity event. While big tech IPOs get all the press, over 98% of successful outcomes for venture-backed startups are acquisitions. Given this fact, how do you determine if the time is right for your company to start thinking about this and if so, what can you do to maximize the outcome?
This 90-minute intro course is designed to explore the hows and whys of an exit by acquisition vs. an IPO. We will cover:
- The difference between financial value and strategic value
- The importance of building relationships with the key players in your industry
- Timing, process and contingency planning
- Maximizing value in any scenario
