Notes from Startup Exits and M&A Forum
It’s important for both the companies - the company being acquired and the acquirer - to evaluate not just products, services and financials but also whether there is culture fit between the leadership and the team at large.
Due Diligence can bring to light compliance issues as well some times and it is ok. As long as it does not show gross negligence or mis-representation in data, Due Diligence typically goes through.
Diligence at the time of acquisition and diligence at the time of fund-raising are quite different. At the time of acquisition, it is much more focused on team, technology, GTM channels and financials while diligence at the time of fund raising is mostly legal and financial with some attention to other aspects.
It’s difficult for startups to plan for an exit. The plan should be created to become valuable for customers - everything else typically follows.

Things to keep in mind during fundraising for early stage founders.
1. It is crucial to meticulously select a list of venture capitalists whose interests align with those of your company. This strategic alignment ensures that both parties are working towards common goals, thereby fostering a more fruitful and synergistic partnership.
2. View funding primarily as a catalyst for growth. Often, funds raised merely for the purpose of survival can lead a company into a detrimental cycle. Instead, focus on utilizing capital to accelerate development and expansion, thereby enhancing the company's long-term viability and success.
3. Be aware that certain aspects of your business may raise concerns or 'red flags' from an investor's perspective. It is imperative to continuously strengthen the 'green flags' or positive aspects of your venture. By reinforcing these strengths, you can effectively mitigate the impact of any potential red flags and present your business in a more favourable light to potential investors.

Things to keep in mind during fundraising for early stage founders.
There are no permanent ‘No’s. When an investor passed on your deal, ask for permission to keep them updated every quarter and then enrol them into a list to which you send out a quarterly update across your product, team and growth. You never know when interest in your startup might peak.
Fundraising is a full-time activity for 1 founder. Pitch to as many people as you can. Pitch, Ask for feedback, improve, repeat.
At early stages, valuation is more of an art than a science. Ultimately, when you are at the negotiating table - everything falls back to how desperate you are to raise and how convinced they are to invest in you.

Things to keep in mind during fundraising for early stage founders.
1) It is very important to know/understand when is the right time to raise funds. Don’t raise at the last minute else you won’t have any leverage. Also consider there may be multiple ways to increase your company’s cash including debt options
2) In the struggle between balancing funds and growing customers, try to focus on growing customers using any means necessary. Remember if there is growth, funds will follow.
3) During the process of raising funds, anything could go wrong. Don’t rest just because you have a signed term sheet. It’s never over until the funds are in your bank account.
4) Having some kind of leverage is the most important thing while raising funds.
You can have leverage if,
a) your growth is strong
b) multiple VCs are interested in putting money creating competitive situations
c) founders have a history of building successful companies before

Yesterday, I had the privilege of participating in an insightful meetup organized by eChai and Venture Studio at Ahmedabad University, focused on Startup exits and M&A. The panel featured
Gaurav Barot
from Tridhya Tech and
Yash Shah
from Clientjoy, skillfully moderated by
Jatin Chaudhary
from eChai and myself as a representative from IndiaBizForSale.
The audience comprised a diverse mix of management students, early-stage startup founders, professionals, and seasoned business owners. We delved into valuable discussions on the nuances of M&A experiences, sharing insights from various perspectives.
Clientjoy's recent acquisition by a strategic player and Tridhya Group's strategic acquisitions of nine companies provided rich learning opportunities. As a representative of Indiabizforsale, I had the chance to contribute our experiences, shedding light on exit plans, the pivotal role of investment bankers and outside counsels, dynamics of deal progress, and the strategic timing of exits.
Discussions also touched upon when not to consider an exit, the standard fee structure associated with such activities by investment bankers, and more.
Takeaways from the evening:
1. Team: If you lack previous M&A experience, seek outside counsel to avoid costly mistakes and stay on course during this potential roller coaster event.
2. Unlocking Value: M&A brings definite value unlocking for entrepreneurs, providing a sense of relief as they embark on new beginnings.
3. Role of Clean Bookkeeping and Clear Communication:Transparent communication is vital for sell-sides. Share an accurate company picture to preemptively address any discrepancies that may arise.
4. Reputation Risk: Acquirers, building a fair and forward-looking reputation, attract better deal flow. Unethical tactics may yield short-term wins but jeopardize future opportunities.
5. Due Diligence: The multifaceted Due Diligence (DD) process covers business, HR, financial, legal, tech, IP diligence, and industry-specific areas.
It was truly gratifying to engage with a diverse audience in the thriving Ahmedabad ecosystem, and I'm delighted to be part of the eChai Ventures community. Looking forward to more enriching interactions!

I had an amazing Saturday evening at my second visit to the eChai Ventures venture hosted by Yash Shah bhai IIMA Ventures ! The meeting was structured crisply and clearly, starting and ending on time. 😊
Many startup enthusiasts were present, grappling with the dilemma of pursuing a job or starting their own venture. The fear of financial security often looms large, with thoughts of placement and fixed salary cheques tempting many students. Reflecting on my own journey, I believe that while no timing is perfect, starting early towards your goals is key.
Viraj Rajani did a great job as a cohost, asking really good questions that young entrepreneurs could relate to.
For those already embarked on their entrepreneurial journey, decisions around funding, exits, target audience, and sustainability are paramount. The importance of cofounders was emphasized, along with the necessity of differentiation in the market. Simply lowering prices isn't enough; offering additional value and services can set you apart.

Yash bhai eloquently articulated this point, which resonated deeply with me. It reminded me of my own experiences; newcomers needn't slash fees but should focus on delivering exceptional service. Lowering fees may attract clients initially, but loyalty isn't guaranteed. 💼
The session was highly interactive, with various startups pitching ideas ranging from loan-related ventures SarvDhan to e-waste collection and website analytics Heatmaphero . It was a valuable opportunity to learn from seasoned founders and exchange knowledge.
My purpose in attending was to connect with people, learn about their ideas, and gain insights into navigating the business landscape. Thanks to Yash bhai for hosting such a wonderful event—I'm glad I attended! 🎉
Thanks to eChai Ventures for organizing the lovely meetup. It was great to meet everyone and I learned a lot.
I got inspired by Nemesh Singh who runs a successful SaaS company from Bhopal with exceptional growth.
His insights on serving enterprise businesses were eye-openers.
I learned about the importance of understanding the unique needs of enterprise clients, and how to tailor solutions to meet those specific demands.
Also learning about building strong, long-term relationships with enterprise customers by focusing on reliability and customized service was truly impressive.
I loved the way he is running his business, mirroring the exact mindset of Zoho, especially in terms of people and culture.
Overall, it was great meeting all of you. Thank you!

BabyOrgano | India's First Dedicated Ayurvedic Baby Care Health and Wellness Brand.
I'm still excited about the amazing event put together by eChai Ventures and DevX.
It was filled with energy, and I was surrounded by a group of amazing entrepreneurs determined to create an impact.
The best part of the evening? Definitely get to talk with experienced entrepreneurs, especially Udit Goenka.
Our casual chat turned into a valuable lesson on effective marketing and the important details of running a successful business.
The event wasn't just about listening and learning – it was hands-on.
We played interesting games that were not only fun but also gave practical insights into solving problems creatively.
The pitch sessions taught us a lot about how to communicate effectively, and each entrepreneur had something special to share.
What really stood out was the lively and collaborative atmosphere.
It wasn't just about individual success stories; it was about creating a supportive community where ideas flowed freely.
It felt like a big brainstorming session, and I left with new perspectives on building a brand and being an entrepreneur.
Once again, big thanks to Jatin and the eChai Ventures team for making this happen!
Also, a shout-out to Umesh Uttamchandani and the DevX team for providing such a fantastic venue.
They did a great job recognizing the efforts of startups and showed a real passion for creating a supportive environment for new businesses.
The event was a boost for growth, a mix of ideas, and a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit.
I'm grateful for the experience and can't wait to use what I've learned in my own entrepreneurial journey!

The eChai Startup Demo Days are held on last Saturdays of the month across cities in India.
Glad to have attended the eChai Ventures Startup Growth Meetup at CIIE, IIM Ahmedabad. Thanks, Jatin, for the invitation.
We had esteemed panelists from various industries including B2B, D2C, and SaaS.
We discussed various aspects of running and growing a startup. Here are a few highlights of the event:
1. Solve the problems of customers. Sometimes, as an early-stage startup, we are too involved in our idea, but solving real-world problems is key to sustaining and scaling.
2. Nowadays, D2C startups' Go-to-Market strategies are 100% dependent on Paid Advertising, and that is not sustainable. D2C startups need to find organic growth channels to sustain growth while reducing costs. (CC: Sumit 'Curl' Karranji)
3. Running a business is a marathon, not a sprint. Patience is what makes or breaks a business. Some years you might not generate enough positive cash flow, but suddenly one year, you get all the ROI. So, staying in the race is important. (CC: Udit Goenka)
4. Dealing with the government requires an H2H approach, meaning Human to Human Relationship. One needs to build rapport to do business with the government. (CC: Shani Pandya)
Thanks again to everyone who joined the event, to Jatin for hosting this wonderful event, and to the fellow speakers for sharing their wisdom about their journey.

eChai AI Social X Because.
Small Group. Candid Conversation.
Thanks, Jatin Bhai organizing this meetup and also, big thanks to Aditya Bhai & Deenky Shah for Hosting us at Because office to Discuss about How to use AI in Marketing.
Here are a few Takeaways:
Aditya: “Individuals need to either learn how to create something original (100% authentic) or they need to learn how to master AI and generate the optimum output. In between, people need to either upskill themselves with AI tools or they need to master the art from scratch.".
AI in Marketing:
-> Content Generation: Current LLMs are very good at providing detailed structure of any prompt given. Before AI, we need to start from nothing, and after AI, we can start with Something. So I think 50% of the problem is solved by thinking about where to start.
-> Visual Creation: DallE, Mid Journey, and Adobe Firefly are very good at creating images from text and give designers the Imagination to wildly experiment with their concepts. But remember, concept and context are very important for Visual Creation.
-> Brainstorming: Post-AI, any Marketing Idea you can brainstorm with LLMs, you don’t need 2 humans for that.
-> AI Assistant: AI will help in not only above things but its application will help in every possible intellectual exploration from Ideation, Market research, Storyboarding, Brandstorming, problem solving, A/B Testing etc.
My 2 Cents on AI:
AI has started affecting the Service Sector, but eventually, we will live in a world where efficiency is/will increase exponentially (10 to 15X) and POST AGI, every industry adopts an AI not only in software but Hardware (Cars, Machine, Robots etc.) too. imo all the jobs that people do just for the money it will replace by AI & AI Enabled Robots.
It seems pessimistic but I am optimistic that AI enables us to reach to singularity (Ultimate Truth) faster.
Work that gives meaning will always thrive...
