The path to liquidity has rarely been harder to predict. IPO windows can open & close within weeks. The SPAC market continues to evolve. Private equity timelines shift unexpectedly. At the same time, growth companies are under increasing pressure to be prepared for multiple strategic outcomes.
To explore these challenges, we are bringing together a select group of CFOs, founders, investors, & advisors for a candid, off-the-record conversation about what it means to be truly ready for today's capital markets environment.
The evening is intentionally intimate, with no slides, no presentations, & no vendor pitches. Instead, the discussion will feature experienced operators & advisors sharing practical lessons learned from IPOs, SPAC transactions, public-company transitions, & strategic exits.
Topics will include:
- When, & whether, to pursue an IPO in today's environment
- The SPAC reset & how SPACs compare with traditional listings
- Private market pressures & investor expectations
Dual-track & multi-track exit strategies
- What boards, legal teams, bankers, & investors expect from management teams today
