12. • Reviving A Startup
. Change Course: Business Modelling
. Rewrite the Story: Branding
. Reconsider the Destination: Audience Targeting
. Revisit the Port: Marketing
. Remain Fearless: Persistence & Improvement

13. Why think about your exit ?
...because a solid exit process maximizes value.
. The Exit Is Just As Important As The Investment
How is value created? By forming a business, building the business, and selling the business
- A well-designed Exit can create as much economic value (for founders, investors, and employees) as all the heavy lifting of actually building the business
. The Startup landscape has changed
- Open source, viral media, cloud, EC2, APIs, offshoring, etc. Cheap to start & scale a company
-Lean startup model rapid prototype & testing, multiple pivots (instead of one big business model bet) – Goal mis-alignment between VCs & startups = Angels and
Isuper angels are the new funding sources
• The Exit Environment Has Changed
-IPO market is still (pretty much) dead
- For large companies, “M&A is the New R&D” –Large companies have too much cash & need to buy a growth story
- Business strategies of acquirers are intersecting (Google vs. Apple vs. Adobe etc.)
Net-Net:
Cheap & lean startups + smaller funding rounds + new funding sources + faster
startup lifecycles + shorter time to (fail or) exit = The New Opportunity.

14. Why It Make Sense To Exit Early
• Lower risk, more return (for Entrepreneurs)
• Entrepreneurs like to create and grow, not manage
-Start it, build it, sell it and then start again (or become an angel investor)
-Founders’ value typically diminishes over time, as co. Requires more process, less experimentation
-Your key strengths are in creating- not managing the people, systems and structure of a large enterprise
• The VC model breeds big, “swing for the fences” companies
- Large VC funds require massive exits to move the needle
-VCs have multiple mechanisms to block exits that would otherwise be good for Founders
• Mis-alignment of goals and time horizons
-Venture-backed companies average 6-8 years from VC financing to M&A exit
-After founders’ shares have already vested, “equity effect” becomes a drag on momentum, motivation Relatively few founders are
-still at the helm at the time of an IPO or mega-acquisition

17. What Is Exit Strategy ?
• A business exit strategy is an entrepreneur’s strategic plan to sell his
or her ownership in a company to investors or another company. An
exit strategy gives a business owner a way to reduce or liquidate his
stake in a business and, if the business is successful, make a
substantial profit.
