How To Get Acquired - Startupfest 2017

How to get your startup acquired. If you take money for a new venture, you're making a promise to investors that you'll get them a return on that investment. And that means an exit. So how do you make the exit happen? Smart founders know that you can't just work in your business; you have to work on it. Because after all, when it comes to creating a liquidity event, your company is your product.

This panel peers behind the scenes of an acquisition to look at what it takes to build and exit a company. Maluuba's co-founder and CEO invites Microsoft Ventures and Nautilus Venture Partners—two key players in the company's recent acquisition—to a candid discussion on what it takes to get acquired.

Moderator : Sarah Prevette (FDS)
Sam Pasupalak (Maluuba)
Samir Kumar (Microsoft Ventures)
Brian Kang (Nautilus Venture Partners)
