Topic: This month’s Netimperative Directors Dinner, hosted by Sean Phelan, founder of Multimap, will look at how to exit a company successfully. Sean recently stepped down from his chairman role at Multimap, the company he founded back in 1995. At this dinner, Sean will impart his own experience of building a company’s value to an optimum level. What are the main options for exiting a company? Just when should you sell a company, and who should you sell to? How do tie-in periods affect the decision and what advisors should you choose? Attend this Directors Dinner and find out.
