Exit Strategy: IPO Vs Trade Sale

By: Enock Koola, Analyst

As a Greek writer once wrote, “Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in”. The same might be said about technology start-ups needing to have an exit plan. In order to attract VC investments, start-ups have to entice with an exit strategy. Most VCs seek 10x potential return on each company given the risks involved in any given portfolio fund. On average it takes 5-7 years before an investor can realise their investment. You don’t need Amoo to say how long that is. It goes without saying if an entrepreneur and investor are going to be strategically working together an exit strategy should be well thought of.

How does Venture Capital (VC) Work?

Just imagine for a second that you are that buzzing entrepreneur looking for capital to plough into your latest project; traditional lending institution’s doors are closed, but you then hear about ‘Venture Capital’ (VC) and you wonder: “what is VC and how does it work?”

This article serves as an overview of the world of VC, from its definition, to how best to approach VCs.

We had a record period. In the last month, we signed letters of engagements with three (yes 3) new clients for advisory mandates. This is up from an average of 1 new advisory mandate every 6-8 weeks. We would like to thank a media company, a Spanish company, and a private wealth entrepreneur who each entrusted us with nurturing their projects with business planning, market entry and feasibility assessment reports respectively.
