Startups / Exit

Exit generally refers to the exit of an investor from a start-up. In this context, strategies are developed as to how investments in a start-up can be reversed at a later date.

There are various strategies that young entrepreneurs and investors should consider. A well thought-out exit strategy is crucial for the successful conclusion of the start-up life cycle.

One possible and particularly desirable exit strategy is to float the company on the stock market (IPO). In addition, a sale of the company or a takeover by another company (trade sale) can also be considered. It is also possible to sell a stake in the company to another investor (secondary purchase). In a buy-back, the founders’ stake is repurchased from the investors. The liquidation of a company is also conceivable, in the context of which a company that has been founded is dissolved.
