A Series for Entrepreneurs
PART 1: Lessons Learned from the Seller's Perspective
Selling a company can be an exciting time for founders, but can also come with much uncertainty. In this two-part series, we will arm founders with the inside baseball on the sales process and how to get through it with as little friction as possible. We will be sitting down with parties from the sell-side and buy-side to hear what approaches they have used, how they have managed internal and external pressures and which strategies have brought a deal across the finish line.
