Webinar: Startup Exits & M&A: Avoiding Pitfalls and Unlocking Value

​An exit or strategic transaction is one of the most important milestones in a start-up’s journey. Yet many companies only start preparing when a buyer is already at the table, often leaving value on the table as a result.

​In this webinar, we explore how founders can prepare early for a sale or strategic transaction, what buyers focus on most during due diligence, and where typical pitfalls arise. We also discuss which levers in process design and negotiation strategy can materially influence valuation, deal certainty, and overall outcomes.

​The session provides practical insights to help founders approach M&A with structure, confidence, and a clear value-maximisation mindset.
