Liquidity Is a Product: Designing Exit-Readiness (IPO, M&A, and Secondaries)

Liquidity doesn’t “happen”, it’s engineered. This panel bridges the VC and private equity playbooks for designing exit-readiness like a product roadmap: from VC-era speed and growth to PE-grade discipline and diligence. We’ll unpack when secondaries, structured liquidity, and continuation vehicles create leverage (and when they signal risk), plus the milestones that make companies “chooseable” across IPO, M&A, and sponsor-led outcomes, so founders don’t chase exits, they choose them.
