What could truly intrigue companies and private equity firms? A chance for companies to assess their value in the private or public marketplace—no strings attached. As an entrepreneur, I found books like One Up on Wall Street invaluable, helping me think about my company's worth even when I didn’t want to sell.
The idea is to offer a workshop or “bootcamp” for companies interested in exit strategies, valuation assessments, and market position. This would provide them insights into potential valuation metrics, what buyers may look for, and key financial benchmarks they may need to meet. Companies will get to meet with the best in finance and investors can talk to their ideal clientele..
This approach benefits both the companies participating—by helping them refine and understand their valuation—and NLDR, by positioning us as facilitators of high-value exit opportunities.
