In the world of tech startups, not many can succeed – or survive for long – without getting funding from external investors. Indeed, 82% of businesses fail because of cash flow issues. A knock-on effect of bringing in investors is that startups are obligated to provide attractive returns. This is where exit opportunities come into play.

But it’s not as if founders can just snap their fingers and have their startup listed or acquired. A lot of planning, perseverance, and maybe even a little luck is required to bring a startup through to a successful exit.

In this episode of Tech in Asia Explains, Qiming Ventures partner Helen Wong, Bento founder Chandrima Das, and Catcha co-founder and group CEO Patrick Grove talk about the ins and outs of preparing for a successful exit.

Tech in Asia Explains is a Tech in Asia Originals series that dives into everything that budding entrepreneurs need to know about starting up a business, getting insights from leading personalities from within the industry.
