Exiting or Being Acquired

So you've spent 3-5 years building your company! You've had sleepless nights full of tears, and have been on the brink of failure. However each time you've pulled it out and now finally your company has some built up value, what do you do? YOU EXIT! Yet how do you determine the right time, valuation, and acquirer? How do you handle due diligence and negotiations - all while continuing to run your business? As an investment banker our jobs is to liaise with your team, potential investors, and acquirers to handle the exit/acquisition process - all while you continue to run your day to day tasks!

How to Think Clearly About Your External Corporate Strategy

Most entrepreneurs are so caught up on day to day tasks they fail to realize that business is not just internal, its also very external. How does your business strategy impact your external corporate strategy? Does it impact capital raising and M&A prospects? Are you positioning yourself for a 5 year exit but are not thinking about due diligence? My experience as an investment banker and strategic advisor for the past 6 years will help you get a better handle on what to do and how to think about your external corporate strategy.

Important considerations when entering a joint development agreement with a large materials manufacturer?

Hi - so happy to hear your company is growing so well in a very advanced field. From my experience please consider the following. (I can email you additional things but here are key concepts)

1. Intellectual Property
Is your "old" IP properly protected as you enter the JV? Now what happens to the new IP, is it shared?

2. Brand
Do you maintain control of your brand in the JV? What is the branding of the new JV?

3. Scope of Work
You must always have a proper scope of work defined in a JV, otherwise it opens up possible issues for you and the other party when one party deviates

4. Dissolution of JV
How do you get out of a JV if you want to? Is it automatic triggers, is there an exit clause?

Hope this helps!
