Every startup aspires to grow and be successful, and part of the dream is to be worthy of acquisition to create wealth for the key stakeholders.
Startups learn early on the importance of having an answer to the question "what is your plan for exit?" to investors and employees. But, they tend to not have an understanding of how or when it will actually happen. And, have even less understanding of preparing for an exit transaction.
According to investment research, 1 in 6 of funded startups get acquired within 10 years. Obviously performance is one of the driving factors, but building the right relationships and being ready once opportunity arises are also important.
