SC Moatti - The exit playbook: Yes, it STILL exists
Exit is the dream on the horizon for many founders, but it often seems like a black box or a game of chance, especially during these times of crisis. So how do you bake an exit strategy into your business from day one, whether it’s a merger/acquisition, or an IPO, or something else—particularly as COVID-19 impacts economic activity and companies shy away from making deals? In this session, Silicon Valley serial entrepreneur turned venture capitalist SC Moatti will share best practices to get your company ready for an exit, from understanding what acquirers look for to making sure you’re positioning yourself and your team for financial success and preserving core parts of your business through the transition. You will walk away understanding how the decisions you make today affect your exit options during and after these testing times: which investors you choose, how you build your team, and more.
