Dead on Arrival: How to Avoid the Legal Mistakes That Could Kill Your Startup
The most important event of a startup company’s life is the exit, meaning the sale or initial public offering. At exit, the founders and team may cash out and realize the benefits of many long years of hard work. The M&A market is strong now, and many startup companies are actively seeking a buyer. Other startup companies should be preparing for an eventual sale by taking steps to increase their marketability and limit the risk of a failed acquisition.
This presentation will cover:
-
When to start thinking about an exit
-
How to ensure the maximum after-tax returns to the sellers
-
Transitioning from being a founder to becoming an employee of an acquirer
-
Using earn outs to maximize sales proceeds
-
How to retain your most valuable asset – people – until a sale occurs
-
Using intellectual property to make your company an attractive target
and more!
Silicon Valley attorney Roger Royse will address not only the legal aspects of preparing for M&A but also the practical business and planning issues involved in a successful sale.
Please come with questions, scenarios, and comments.
