How to prepare your startup for a successful exit

Most founders spend years thinking about fundraising – but far fewer think about what makes a business attractive to buyers.

In this session, Anthony Rose, Co-founder and CEO of SeedLegals, joins Michael Hakim and Gary Moon from Nfluence Partners to explore the journey from early-stage startup to successful exit. They share practical insights on building an exit-ready business, understanding what acquirers look for, and making strategic decisions that maximise long-term value.

Many founders only start thinking about an exit when an opportunity appears. By then, gaps in the business, team, product, or growth story can limit valuation and reduce buyer interest.

By understanding what strategic and financial buyers value – and building those qualities into your business from an early stage – founders can create more options, attract stronger offers, and position themselves for a successful exit when the time is right.
