Exit Readiness Workshop presented by Aqua and Osler
Tuesday, September 19, 2023 (4:00 PM - 6:30 PM) (PDT)
Description
VIATEC members are invited to 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. The workshop will be followed by an informal networking reception. There is no cost to attend the workshop, however registration is required as space is limited.
Presenters include Andy Talbot and Tim Botham, both Managing Partners at Aqua based in Berkley, California and Vancouver, Canada. Joining them will be Mark Longo and Justin Young, both Partners at Osler in the Emerging and High Growth Companies group.
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, and includes practical advice covering:
- M&A 101 - How tech M&A works and the latest trends
- How to ensure your company is ‘exit ready’, while you stay focused on building a great company
- What to do (and not do) when building your company to make it easier to exit... whenever the time comes
- How to think about building relationships with potential acquirers
- How strategic investments can impact your future ability to exit
- Raising money - What acquirers look for in your cap table, and aligning expectations with investors
- The value of IP and patents when exiting
- Exit strategies - how and when to create one
- When to sell - timing options for selling your company
- How to sell - how to effectively manage (and survive) a successful M&A process
