This session is proudly presented in partnership with Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (WSGR).

So, you’ve built your business from the ground up, and now you're considering the next step: selling it. But where do you even start? In this session, we’ll walk you through the murky waters of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with a panel of experts who’ve seen it all. From identifying potential buyers who aren’t just window-shopping to managing those high-stakes buyer discussions, we’ll cover the key steps to selling your company—and doing it in a way that leaves you feeling victorious, not victimized.

Get ready for a crash course in preparing for financial and legal diligence, navigating those nerve-wracking negotiations, and making sure the transition is as smooth as possible–because things can get messy. Whether you’re hoping to cash out or make a strategic exit, this panel will provide the actionable insights you need to avoid the common pitfalls and come out ahead. Get ready for some straight talk on how to sell your company like a pro.
