SUMMARY:Maximizing your Company's Value by Starting at the End
DESCRIPTION:You may be at the beginning of your journey to start up a business. Believe it or not\, this is the perfect time to think about how that journey is going to end. By considering your exit strategy up front\, we can examine what potential acquirers will be looking for and establish best practices to avoid pitfalls along the way. When you’re conducting negotiations and the other party asks\, “have you done an FTO?”; “how clean is your cap table?”; or “what’s your patent strategy?”\, you’ll have the right answer at the ready. \nOf course\, not all companies succeed and it’s also helpful to examine what can happen when things go south. \nWe’ll walk through examples of both scenarios. By seeing how your company might wrap up\, you can set yourself up for success from the very beginning. \nMatt Fagan is an attorney at Goodwin Procter with nearly two decades of experience counseling tech companies at all stages of the business life cycle. He has shepherded a number of startups from inception to exit. \nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Wednesday\, August 21st\nTime: 12:00pm – 1:00pm\nLocation: Geekdom\, 7th Floor\n\nReserve your spot today and start your journey to understanding and communicating your business identity! \n>> Mentor Bio:\nMatt is an attorney working with startups and medium-sized companies\, especially those specializing in software or medical devices. He has an undergraduate degree in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University and a professional certification in quantum computing from MIT.
