Published: April 2, 2021, 11 a.m.

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startups should start planning for an exit after they achieve product-market fit.\xa0 Here are some key points to consider when planning your approach to an acquirer: What are the key metrics the acquirer will look for? What are the company\u2019s metrics and how do they currently look? How big is the market for the company\u2019s product? What initiatives are underway that will produce value for the company? How differentiated is your product compared to the competition? What is your primary competitive advantage? How consistent is your growth rate? What is your forecast for the coming three years? These questions show how your company will be perceived by the potential buyer. You can use this to guide your funding, hiring, and strategic plans. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0 For Feedback please contact Music courtesy of .
