It can feel counterintuitive to think about the investor exit whilst you build your investable business. Once you get over this, you’ll realise that it only makes sense to have the investor exit strategy top of mind as you articulate your pitch. An investor wants to know that they will be able to make a return on their investment and so being able to show the assumptions you have made, including some calculations and realistic plans will serve you well.

Meet Sihle Gumede, who is a Principal at Sanari Capital. Sihle packs a punch as she clarifies what is meant when investors talk about an exit strategy. This part of the raise process can quickly become overwhelming because of the dizzying array of acronyms - ROI, IRR.. - so let Sihle set you straight on this episode of Let’s Get Funded.
