Getting Out of Your Business in Time

What this episode covers

Early Exits Exit Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors By Basil Peters If you are an angel investor, or would like to work with one, then this book is for you. David Greer and I chat about the business of investing and how the landscape is changing. This ground-breaking book is changing the way people think about angel investing and is widening the gap between angel investors and venture capitalists. Exits are the least understood part of investing and entrepreneurship. Very little has been written about exits – the emphasis is usually on starting, financing and growing technology companies. This book is about the large number of other exits – the ones that are not driven by the VCs. Exit opportunities have changed dramatically in the past few years. Today, it’s more likely that a company will be sold without ever having an investment from a venture capitalist. The largest number of exit transactions today are in the under $30-million valuation range. These exits are often completed when companies are only two or three years from startup. The goal of this book is to help entrepreneurs and angel investors have more successful, more frequent and more profitable exits.
