SXSW 2012 - Anatomy of an Exit: Selling Your Company

Anatomy of an Exit: Selling Your Company
Event	SXSW Interactive 2009
Format	Solo
Organizer	Bill Flagg – RegOnline.com
Description	After 6 months of intense negotiations, my partner and I sold RegOnline.com to Active.com for double what the investment bankers told us we could. Get an inside look at how deal-makers do their deals with this play-by-play blow of the negotiations.
Questions Answered	What's your company REALLY worth? How do larger companies think when they are in acquisition mode? How did we get on the radar of companies that were acquiring? What strategies increased the deal value the most? What's the reason I wish I hadn't sold but ultimately had to sell? What would I have done differently in the negotiation if I knew then what I know now? How did my choice of attorney affect our deal value? How did NOT working with an investment banker double the valuation of my company? How did we take care of employees? What worked well? What would I have done differently?
