Things I wish I knew about building and selling my company when I was CEO
Join us for a practical Exit Readiness Workshop presented by boutique M&A advisory firm, Aqua, with insights from Osler. Aqua works with early-stage and growth-stage companies to develop exit strategies, run M&A processes, and negotiate exit transactions to close.
Based on interviews with over 30 CEOs and their acquirers, you’ll hear what the CEOs did well and what they wish they did differently when building their companies. This session provides practical insights on:
- M&A 101: how tech M&A works and key trends
- exit readiness
- how to be ready for an exit while building a great company
- building relationships with potential acquirers
- how strategic investments impact exit opportunities
- what acquirers look for in your cap table and aligning investor expectations
- the role of IP and patents in maximizing value
- when to sell: timing considerations for an optimal exit
- how to sell: navigating and surviving the M&A process
Following the workshop, join us in the lounge for an informal networking social.
