DEALMAKER(LA): Exits in 2010: What No One Tells You About Cashing In Your Chips

Last Thursday Dealmaker LA brought together a great bunch of speakers to go over a very important subject…The Exit.  Knowing when you should cash in all in or hold out for a bigger earn-out can be a tough decision.  In this series a few key points will be gone over:

• Given the market upheaval, what are the pros and cons of each exit strategy, and how interchangeable are they?
• What can we learn from exits such as iLike, friendfeed and Club Penguin? What should they have done differently? What did they do right?
• How can startups avoid fire sales and other death traps?
  
• What should you be doing today to better your chances of a timely, successful exit?
