​It’s Never Too Soon – How to Grow Your Company And Successfully Exit- From Pre-Seed to Sale

​How does a founder build and grow a business with an eye toward an exit down the road?

​Starting early allows founders to capitalize on strategies that can increase their enterprise value, address tax liabilities, and help identify their target sale price to become financially independent of their business. Experts, including venture capitalists, investment bankers, and successful sellers, will discuss best practices on how to create, scale and exit a start-up.

​Coffee and light breakfast are served.
