Exit Accelerator (https://www.exitaccelerator.ch/) is a grass-roots, not-for-profit association, with the aim to boost the Swiss start-up and SME ecosystem by promoting conversations about exits. Exits can expand Swiss innovation globally, bring returns and fresh capital for our entrepreneurs and investors, and generate local jobs.

Join us to connect with (https://www.exitaccelerator.ch/) the key players in the exit/M&A space, help understand the challenges and what needs to change, what the focus and efforts should be to improve and increase the number of Swiss Exits.

Our panel of successful entrepreneurs with exits and M&A professionals will share their insights on how to make good on an exit/acquisition.

In this highly interactive session, the audience and the panelists will co-create the discussion through buzz groups around topics such as:

• Understanding valuations: from founders to investment bankers

• Increasing valuation: driving value through marketing and branding

• Scaling technology: delivering the growth on your business plan

• Negotiating exits: building a position of strength

• Effective collaboration: merging corporate & start-up ethos for success

As co-founder of Drooms, Jan Hoffmeister was one of the trailblazers for the introduction of virtual data room solutions in Europe.
In 2001, Jan Hoffmeister founded the company to provide physical data rooms for transactions. His real goal, however, was to digitise this process and offer an online due diligence platform. After an intensive development phase, his ideas about how such a platform should look and perform came to fruition. As a result, Drooms is now the leading virtual data room provider in Europe.
Jan has over 15 years of experience as a manager, mainly at Siemens, in the areas of corporate finance and M&A in Germany, Switzerland, and the USA.
