Mark Osborne explains why trying to time a market exit rarely works, but shows how companies can prepare themselves to move fast when conditions align. Readiness matters more than perfect timing.
It's interesting to sort of hear your perspective from kind of both sides of both funding or being funded and the sort of different perspectives that that comes in. And, you know, both of us kind of work in the exit space where we're helping companies, you know, prepare for exit. And one of the things that, you know, people always want to do, but it's very hard to do, which is time the market, you know, because a rising tide raises all ships. If you could sell at the right time, as they say. Yeah. It makes a big difference. That's fundamentally a pretty hard thing to do. And in fact, it's sort of overestimated in terms of its ability to impact the success of your sale or recapitalization or other M&A activity.
