Students will be introduced to the key elements of investment deal flow, screening, structuring, monitoring, and exiting. Students will also be introduced to the other key players in the local investment ecosystem – their roles, objectives, and value to an angel.Module 108: Exit StrategiesInstructor: Dr. Basil PetersThe exit is the essential point in any investment lifecycle where the angel finally gets their financial return. So it must be achieved – ideally very quickly and with a very large return. This module will cover a wide range of tips and techniques, hard-won from the experience of angels who have gone before, to ensure a successful exit from angel investments. A systematic approach will be presented in which the exit strategy becomes the key driver of all investment decision-making, including the screening and selection of investment opportunities, the structuring of term sheets, and the growth strategies for the new ventures.
