Targeting an Exit Strategy

Wednesday, June 11 at 3:30 PM

Washington Clean Energy Testbeds

4625 Union Bay Place NE, Seattle

Join the Washington Clean Energy Testbeds for the next event in our Entrepreneur-in-Residence series: Targeting an Exit Strategy. Many entrepreneurs fortunate enough to grow their company past the uncertainty of the early stages will eventually seek an exit. Exit can take many forms: mergers, acquisitions, initial public offerings, etc.  It is important to start planning for a potential exit early, but it can be difficult to envision the end of the road in the chaotic early life of a startup. This event will explore how both entrepreneurs and investors view successful exits and how they work to reach this end goal to maximize positive outcomes for the startup teams and their supporters.

An open networking session will follow the discussion. Light snacks and beverages will be provided.

Testbeds Entrepreneur-in-Residence Babu Jain will also hold office hours on Wednesday, June 11th, from 9 am to 12 pm and from 1 pm to 3 pm. 45-minute appointments can be requested by emailing wcet@uw.edu. Babu is a renewable energy entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience leading global startups as well as technology teams at Fortune 500 companies, with leadership experience in the United States, India, Singapore, and Germany. He is currently the Founder & CEO of Navia Energy Inc., a renewable AI technology company. 

Speakers to be announced soon.

This event is open to all, but space is limited.
