Exit Strategies and Execution
As any business angel will tell you, exits are fundamental in
sustaining your activities as an investor. Making a positive return on
investment, however, doesn't simply happen by chance. Planning is key
and you should begin early on, even before deciding to invest in a given
startup. During this masterclass we will start by covering the
different forms of exits and then dive deep into the details of how to
strategically prepare and execute them from a legal, financial and team
point of view. Our expert mentor, Jesper Drescher, Danish Business Angel
Investor of the Year in 2017, will share also his experience in doing 3
different types of exits: IPO, trade sale and management buy in.
