There is a misconception among many healthcare entrepreneurs that starting a fast-growing company will one day lead to a strategic buyer appearing at your doorstep with a sizable check in hand.
In reality, the vast majority of healthcare and life sciences exits to “strategics” result from long-term relationships that have already created sustained value for both the startup and the strategic acquirer. By the time of an actual acquisition, the conversation is no longer about potential synergies, but rather about how an acquisition will leverage an existing successful partnership and amplify the creation of new value.
MATTER Chicago hosted a webinar on how to prepare your MedTech early stage company for an eventual acquisition that creates as much value as the actual exit. At it, seasoned industry pioneers and experts shared case studies and hard lessons learned from their own experiences sitting on both sides of the startup-strategic partner table.
