PIVOT, GROW, POP THE CHAMPAGNE: A NO‑BS GUIDE FOR LEGAL‑TECH FOUNDERS EYEING THEIR EXIT
In this high‑impact panel, we will unpack how to strike the perfect balance between aggressive growth and disciplined exit readiness—focusing on mastering sustainable unit economics, initiating a full legal‑and‑governance cleanup (cap tables, IP audits, privacy/compliance programs) 18–24 months ahead of a sale, and building a two‑year‑proven C‑suite that signals buyer confidence. With expert insights into timing pivots smartly, avoiding deal‑killing contract or IP pitfalls, and positioning for buyer‑ready valuation, this session delivers the straight talk and actionable roadmap founders need to scale fast and celebrate harder.
