Exits are back. Are you ready?

 

In today’s market, IPO windows remain narrow, VC funds are under pressure to return capital, and we’re seeing renewed activity in private equity, secondaries, and strategic M&A. For founders, this means more optionality, but also more complexity.

 

Choosing the right path isn’t just about valuation. It’s about timing, investor alignment, liquidity, and the future you want for your company, team, yourself and your family.  In this candid webinar, we bring together voices from across the capital spectrum to help founders navigate the choices ahead.

 

Time & Location

 

  • Date & Time: 10.30am - 11.30am, Wednesday, 8th October AEDT
  • Location: Online (Microsoft Teams)

 

Who should attend?

 

This event is designed for founders thinking about scale, liquidity, or positioning for the next chapter. Whether you're exit-curious or exit-ready, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and make smarter decisions.
