MORE INFORMATION AND PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON

REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR THIS EVENT!

You are one of them…a dedicated entrepreneur, who has poured heart and soul into the venture. Does this focused dedication to launch and grow the business also include planning for a potential future exit?

An exit strategy is an important “early-on“ element of the overall business strategy that describes the vision of how you will eventually capitalize on your investment. The decisions about how you structure and operate the business can have huge implications down the road.

Hear from expert panelists, who have prepared companies in successful exits! They will talk about exit strategy planning and, just as important, what exits look and feel like in real life to serial entrepreneurs, financial, and legal M& A advisors.

Each of the three speakers will discuss the topics above including experiences with both tech and life science startup companies they supported. The presentations will then be followed by audience and moderator questions for each of the speakers on the panel. There will also be a half hour of online and in-person networking available to registrants, following the presentations to give you the chance to meet the speakers and moderator.
