OPUS Peer-led: M&A Readiness for Startups- Understanding the Buyer Mindset

​M&A Readiness for Startups: Understanding the Buyer Mindset

​The biggest mistake founders make when thinking of exits? Not realising it takes a lot of hard work over many years to set up for a successful acquisition.

​Join OPUS and  23mile Capital for an interactive deep dive on how acquirers think, what triggers them to buy, and how you can position your startup to receive multiple term sheets.

​Why attend?

• ​Learn why large corporates, private‑equity platforms, and crossover funds hunt for startups at Seed to Series B and what each group values most.

• ​Translate product metrics into a strategic narrative buyers can’t ignore.

• ​Understand the process from the point of view of corporate development teams and acquirers

• ​Learn how to create an actionable, acquirer-inspired acquisition roadmap.

​This session will be run by OPUS member Kayode Odeleye, co-founder of 23mile, a turnaround fund for venture backed startups who need capital and support to transit from hypergrowth to profitability. We also provide expert M&A support to help founders achieve successful exits.
