Enterprise Tuesday: Choosing your exit - acquisition or independence?

With guest speaker Scott Button, Co-founder of Unruly Chaired by Robert Wardrop, Co-founder & Director of the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, Cambridge Judge Business School. How do you choose the right exit strategy for your business? This can depend on a number of factors including the objectives of the people (founders, investors and shareholders) who own the business, whether or not you want to manage the business going forward, your personal liquidity, the future potential of the business and market conditions. Unruly, based in London’s Tech City and led by Co-founders Scott Button, Sarah Wood, and Matt Cooke, was acquired by News Corp in 2015 for £114 million. In this Enterprise Tuesday session, we discuss the factors which influenced this decision and share advice about the various options open to founders as they reach this key milestone with a business. Enterprise Tuesday is a series of free evening lectures and networking sessions managed and delivered by the Entrepreneurship Centre.
