About this session
Every founder dreams of the exit. Far fewer plan for it.
In a funding cycle shaped by lofty valuations and layered rounds, many promising companies find their path to exit blocked by the very capital that fueled their growth. Complex cap tables, preference stacks, and misaligned shareholders can turn a willing acquirer into a walk-away, or a good outcome into a stalemate.
This session, co-hosted with Singapore Venture Capital Association, brings together investors for a candid conversation about what really stands between a startup and its exit. We’ll examine how high valuations and shareholder misalignment create friction when it matters most, and ask a harder question: how can founders and investors recognize early when to pivot or call time, before too much capital makes either option painful?
Expect frank views, real lessons, and practical takeaways for anyone raising or backing startups today. -
