Charting Your Next Exit

This session explores how founders and investors should think about exit readiness earlier than they think, not as an endgame, but as a strategic lens that shapes capital strategy, product roadmap, governance, and cross-border optionality. The discussion will cover what “exit-ready” looks like in practice (metrics, narratives, org structure), how Japan’s ecosystem and buyer landscape influences exit pathways, and how investors assess the conditions that make an exit realistic.
