Exit Signs: Knowing When, Why and How to Sell Your Company

Join us for a Started Talk with Alex Rappaport to gain insights on the process of selling a company.

About this Event

A successful exit is the dream for many founders, a destination at the end of a long and grueling road. But despite focusing on this outcome, many founders find themselves unprepared for the sale process when it begins. This session will demystify the exit process and address some of the toughest questions founders face. Am I ready to sell? Am I doing it for the right reasons? Where do I start? Getting exit-ready well in advance of your sale process can dramatically improve the final result.

Discussion topics include:

  • The sell vs raise dilemma

  • Understanding your value

  • Identifying the right buyer

  • Getting exit-ready

The session will conclude with an audience Q&A.
