Exit preparation is at the core of Artis’ offering because it consistently achieves exceptional outcomes, both in certainty and valuation.

Over 20+ years, our senior team has worked with companies on meticulous preparation for months, and sometimes years, before achieving a successful exit. We call this approach “Stage 1/Stage 2,” with “Stage 1” being the preparation phase before “Stage 2,” the traditional M&A sale process.

This approach, first developed by Victor Basta as an adjunct professor at the INSEAD Entrepreneurship Dept teaching exit preparation for six years, is now embedded within Artis’ approach, whether a transaction is moving rapidly with buyers seriously at the table or a Board is intending to plan an eventual exit well in advance.

Artis professionals have executed successful exit preparation for a broad range of companies and funds in Europe and the US. The firm retains unparalleled expertise in the systematic development of a compelling equity story, positioning for and cultivating potential buyers, front-running key issues and obstacles, and increasing buyer engagement that enables a sell-side client to be “bought not sold.”

A useful summary of key elements of exit preparation can be found in the following series of blog posts which frame “do’s” and “don’ts” gleaned from decades of experience doing this advisory work. No other boutique investment bank serving our technology sectors is as well-steeped, or practically experienced, in thoughtful exit preparation leading to a high-value eventual outcome for investors, founders and employees.
