What do we cover?
1. Execution and IP drive valuation. Innovation isn’t enough. Investors look for working products, a clear path to commercialization, and strong patent or trade secret protection that creates negotiation leverage.
2. Exit planning starts on day one. The best founders identify potential acquirers early. A clear line of sight to liquidity shapes decisions on team, product, and IP strategy.
🎧 Tune in for a candid look at how to position deep tech companies for both growth and successful exits.
