TiE CXO - Exit stories and lessons learned: What founders need to know

When:  Nov 30, 2022 from 18:00 to 21:00 (PT)

Exits matter because that’s when the founders, the team and the investors get paid. To use a chess metaphor, we hear a lot about the “opening game” (lean startup) and the “mid-game” (growth), but very little about the “end game.” As a result, founders miss opportunities or leave money on the table.

TiE is hosting a panel of entrepreneurs with successful exits to talk about lessons learned.

Speakers

  • Laurie Schultz - CEO Galvanize (successful exit, M&A $1.3B+)
  • Judi Hess - CEO Copperleaf (TSX IPO at $1B+ valuation)
  • Sharad Mohan - founder Trainerize (successful exit, M&A)
  • Ally Bharmal - Fasken (Exit expert)

Moderated by Maninder Dhaliwal - Managing Partner, Startup Studio Accelerator & Venture Fund; Founding Chair, TiE Vancouver Angels.

TiE Sponsor & Charter Member VIP Reception: 6:00- 7:00pm (not open to public)

Speaker Panel: 7:00-8:00pm

Networking: 8:00-9:00pm

About TiE CXO

TiE CXO is aimed at BC's startup and scaleup operators, and includes public events with local experts, and roundtables with US CXOs. The programming is being offered in partnership with TiE Silicon Valley.

Currently, very few seed funded startups in BC go on to raise Series-A and beyond. This gap has a great cost for BC, and deprives our ecosystem of mid-sized technology companies that power the economy. With TiE CXO, we aim to utilize TiE's global network and resources to help with this issue.

TiE CXO offers learning, mentoring and networking opportunities for operators in startups and scaleups, including workshops and working sessions featuring local and global experts. TiE CXO programming is offered to BC's tech community at a not-for-profit basis.

TiE CXO Roundtables provide BC’s CXOs an invitation-only, learning and networking access to the visiting US CXOs in a small group setting. BC CXOs can apply here.
