TiE Dubai Event - Entrepreneurs and Exit Strategies 16 January 2012 Al Thuraya Hall, Dubai Internet City Bldg 3
For many entrepreneurs, the word “Exit” is synonymous with failure and doom. Most entrepreneurs believe that their businesses are their “life” and have all their emotional wellbeing and wealth completely invested in their businesses. Often, this belief is rudely shattered by market vagaries, client developments, investor actions, accidents, ageing, family issues, health and other such changes. As a result, many exits are unplanned and result in steep value losses for the founders. How can this be prevented? How can entrepreneurs develop a healthy attitude towards exits? In this session, we will discuss key issues in designing and executing an exit strategy.
