📉 Private equity exits reached a record low in 2023, down 64% from their peak in 2021, as PE investors struggled to offload portfolio companies in an unstable market. Yet, 2024 holds promise with an abundance of aging deals offering vast value creation potential for both buyers and sellers. At our upcoming panel discussion we will explore this defining trend in further detail. Join us on Thursday 18th of April to delve into the different exit strategies and how deal structuring affects exit outcomes and returns. Oliver Parker (Partner, Software and Tech Services at Alantra) will share his perspective and expertise on determining the optimal timing for exiting investments as well as managing potential challenges and risks during the exit process and more. The discussion will be further enriched by an exited founder, who will bring invaluable firsthand experience, having successfully exited from VC to a PE fund. His unique perspective will shed light on the intricacies of navigating the exit process from the founder's standpoint, offering insights on aligning interests, managing negotiations, and maximizing value creation. The event will be hosted by Arbolus CEO and Co-founder Sam Glasswell. Register today ➡️
