Tips On Selling A Startup
- Minimize risks by selling your startup in the early stages, giving up upside for a smaller but guaranteed payoff. Unfortunately, big companies tend to be risk-averse, so it is easier to sell an established startup than an early-stage one.
- Selling allows you to diversify away from the volatility of the startup.
- Being profitable is the best way to make your company worthy of buying.
- A great motivator for a big company to buy a startup is their competition trying to do the same.
- The user count is one of the best measures of a company. This tells the buyers if the company is focused on quickly creating a desirable product or just on solving a technical problem.
