#TheExitBreakfast: How to build your business for an exit - from day one.
2026-05-27 15:07 | FL
#COMMUNITYEVENT
​You don’t need to be planning an exit to benefit from building a sellable company. In fact, the principles that make a business attractive to buyers (strong fundamentals, clear metrics, scalable systems, and strategic clarity, for instance) are the same ones that drive sustainable growth.
​This founder-focused session explores what it really means to be “exit-ready” and how to apply that lens at any stage of your company’s journey. We’ll cover the key elements acquirers and investors look for, how to avoid common growth traps, and what you can start doing today to create long-term value whether you’re aiming to raise, scale, or eventually sell.
​Ideal for early-stage, growing, and more mature startups alike, this session blends real-world insights, practical takeaways, and a fresh perspective on building and positioning your company the right way.
