Short transcript excerpt from a December 15, 2023 conversation featuring Jason M. Lemkin advising founders not to obsess over exit strategies or optionality. He recommends focusing on building something good, trusting investors you can trust, and letting options appear organically. The excerpt ends with moderator thanks and applause to close the session.
And secondly, I realized it doesn't matter. What I realize 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. 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 Sastr blog. It's an amazing source of information. Even the old, old, old blog post. I still learn a ton from it. This plus the conference is also amazing in the US and in Paris. Thank you Jason.
