Currently building something new. Serial entrepreneur (2x cofounder, 2x exit - last one at $510M). Angel investor in 55+ companies and funds.
It may seem as if startup exits are getting more difficult, with IPOs taking longer and big tech companies buying fewer startups in this new antitrust environment. But in the meantime, there are more startup liquidity options now: eg. bigger startups, PE firms, venture studios-type roll-up entities, startup acquisition platforms (acquire.com, tiny.com), etc. There are more exited startup founders now than ever, and many of them become repeat founders or angel investors. While there might be more potential acquirer options, everyone is using revenue and EBITDA as the key metric. But this also means, if your company is generating revenue and (better yet) profits, you’ll always have liquidity options. It’s not that you have to sell - with infinite runway, time is on your side.
