Rathbones x Fuel Ventures - Exit Lines #2

​Exit Lines is Fuel Ventures' masterclass series for exited and exiting founders, navigating the toughest, least-talked-about stretch of the start-up journey: the exit itself. This session is built specifically for founders already in it - mid-deal, mid-earn-out, mid-IPO, mid-secondary, or about to be  - bringing together the people who've lived it and the advisers who guide it.

For many founders, the jubilance of an initial offer quickly gives way to a feeling of standing at Everest basecamp - the hard yards are still ahead, and there's no guarantee you'll make it to the summit.
Having kicked off the series earlier this month with Alex Packham of ContentCal (sold to Adobe for £120m), we're pleased to open invitations for #2, hosted at Rathbones on 30th July.

Agenda:

• ​Fireside chat between Will Welton of Fuel Ventures and 4x-exited founder John Regan of Certifii, on the realities, challenges, and necessities of exiting successfully. John will share his story start to finish - including exiting to a PLC in the immediate wake of the financial crisis, and completing the deal on Christmas Eve.

• ​Philip Hare (Philip Hare & Associates) and Adrian Smale (EY) on maximising tax efficiency in the current environment and preventing value leakage.

• ​Lizzie Hart of Rathbones on the value of long-term, structured wealth planning ahead of a liquidity event.
