In this brief interview segment, Jason M. Lemkin argues that founders should not obsess over a predefined exit strategy. He claims that viable options and exit opportunities will naturally arise when founders focus on building a solid product and surrounding themselves with trustworthy investors. Lemkin advises entrepreneurs to simply "go for it" with good ideas, trusting that optionality will emerge without the need for meticulous planning.

And secondly, I realized it doesn't matter. What I realized is you don't need an exit strategy. You don't need options. The options present themselves. Especially try to get investors that you sort of trust. But these things are not as black and white as they sound. And go for it if you have something good. And the options and the optionality will take care of itself. But I've learned throw optionality out the window and just go for it.
Well, thank you for the transparency, Jason. So without further ado, I think we can wrap up. Give a huge round of applause to Jason, please.
Yeah, thanks everybody. Yeah.
And if you don't know it yet, go to Saastr blog. It's an amazing source of information. Even like the old, old, old blog posts, I still learn a ton from it. This plus the conference is also amazing in the US and in Paris. Thank you, Jason.
