出售EB的7位数字业务?

大家好,

在这里有些难题,会对您的意见感兴趣。

我有一个EB英尺2022提供纽约并听到了有关团队文化的好消息。

The issue is that the business I founded is valued at around $1.5m at the moment that could potentially be sold at any time with 1-2 months of intense work (booming demand for my business type). I feel confident I could do it all again if required and really enjoy the autonomy of 'being my own boss' vs the opposite of that inIB去年我花了一个夏天做的。因为这,IBlong-term isn't really an option, I'd be looking to do it for 1-2 years for the development of a different skillset (professional skills, seeing how a larger org operates, working in a larger team etc.) and the likely benefit of havingIBon the resume for raising capital for any future businesses (I assume this will have a significant impact on ability to raise capital by showing I have a professional side as well?).

Essentially, I feel I currently have the skillset of building a low 7-figure business but want to expedite the process of learning how to build/attract the right investors to get to 8 figures, and I'm wondering if a year or two inIB会帮助我这样做。

我的一部分甚至因为考虑到IB优惠,但另一部分说这可能是谨慎的长期举动IB/PE/咨询并发现难以忽视的趋势。

Regardless of how much I automate, doing bothIBand business is a no-go really as I'm fairly confident the business will die a slow death, so it's one or the other for a year or two really.

All opinions appreciated, thanks!

您坐在7位数字的业务上,您想从事银行业务?银行业是针对那些试图进入您的立场的人,而不是相反。我无法想象放弃成功的业务来制作沥青书,并在一个中更新勤奋跟踪器资料室

银行体验如何使您能够从事8位数字的业务?您是正确的,因为大多数现代创始人都有先前的工作经验;但是,您已经拥有良好的经验(即建立成功的业务)。如果您想开始一家新业务,我相信成功退出您当前的业务将比您的简历上的银行筹集资金筹集的目的还要多。

到目前为止,我的整个职业生涯都有些疲倦。我个人梦想着创业。

感谢您的答复。Makes sense what you say re a successful exit being enough for raising further capital. I just imagine that that coupled with a year inIB获得资金,吸引人才等变得容易得多,也许我需要做的是与一些人说话VCS并从潜在的投资者的角度发表意见。尽管如此,我感谢您的权衡,显然很多人同意SBS

I don't thinkIB出于筹款目的而容纳如此多的重量。如果我想到一些较小的PEfunds founders筹集了资金,他们大多有以前PE经验加一个MBA

Honestly, if you want a desk job that will help future business endeavors, I would thinkVC是最好的地方。不太熟悉如何VC招聘工作,但我听说他们喜欢前企业主。如果您在VC空间,我敢肯定,这会增加您的筹款机会。

Good luck!

如何will building pitchbooks,蔓延comps,,,,and aligning logos help you do that? I'm genuinely curious as I've been an analyst for 6 months and have not learned anything regarding how to attract the right investors to move up from a 7 figure to an 8 figure business. If any other analyst has had a different experience, please chime in.

我要说的是,现在比以往任何时候都更真实,为早期企业(尤其是技术)筹集资金在很大程度上取决于创始人的谱系。如果您是一所好学校并拥有风险投资人的工作经验,那么在这种环境中,筹集1-2磨坊(7个数字)是合法的(Big Tech Swe,Big Tech Swe,MBBconsulting,,,,EB/BBbanking orMFpe)​​。我认为,当您完全出售业务时,这有所不同(因此他们知道创始人要离开并仅关心资产而不是员工),但是出于将来的目的,要开展业务,拥有良好的工作经验可能会有所帮助。下一轮资金从7个数字增加到8位。

在高中我开始一个软件SaaS业务and sold it my freshman year in undergrad for around ~$2m. Figured that it wasn't something I wanted to do the rest of my life and that I'd rather take the money to have the freedom to do whatever I wanted.

快进到现在,我现在是一个大三学生,他决定IBwould be the best path for me post undergrad for many of the same reasons you have stated (financial skillset, pedigree for future capital raising, network), and will be heading to a顶部TMT团体。

我这样看,价值IBexperience far outweighs sacrificing two years of my life as it will make my future entrepreneurship endeavors significantly easier to raise capital, attract top talent, get into incubators/accelerators due to network, Bschool, etc. Essentially, sacrifice two years to have a better chance at starting something on a bigger scale and I firmly believe thatIB将帮助我进行这种追求。

可能be if this was an investing job that looks at and diligences a high volume of opps but banking won't help other than sticker branding but presumably you're from a good school etcHonestly have you thought about going for like 3-6 months, long enough to finish your SIE exams and stuff (or not) and then quit or get fired if all you want is 'the name'. You can spin it however you want.But to be honest I think it'll br crucial to work on your business. No one knows when the music will stop and the cycle will come to an end which is more of a reason to strap in and try and make the most of your business asap. How much is recurring revenue / would you be able to pay yourself even if the经济tanks a bit?

EBEntrepreneur,,,,what's your opinion? Comment below:

是的,我认为这是诚实的戏。达到一年最大IBfor the branding while keeping the company ticking over then get back to business afterwards. Largely recurring revenue, can't imagine revenue would dry up much in arecession but demand因为企业会跌倒很多

我会在银行业上做一年,特别是如果您说这不是一个千载难逢的机会,您可以再做一次。如果这是您的独角兽,您知道您将无法复制不同的故事。拿出现金并充实您的下一个想法,然后在第一个奖金后立即开始。

You can go intoIBand mostly coast without worrying about bonus orPE。I don't think the skillset is that spectacular if you want to be a founder, but unless you have Harvard/Stanford undergrad, it legitimizes you to have it on your resume.

我目前有一个> 2 m的生意,但我是still in growth equity。我认为问题确实归结为1)当您开始时,公司可以自行运行2年英尺and 2) are you doingIBto get intoVC/growth equity.

If the answer to any of the above is no, then I would not consider doingIB。下午我,如果您想知道我为什么还拥有成功的创业,为什么我仍然处于增长公平。

95%+ of people at yourEBwould leave in a heartbeat for the opportunity that you would give up to do it. You are vastly overrating the team culture and underrating the vaue and freedom of having equity in a business. If the bank name starts with "M" that figure goes up to 99%

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.

我了解您的思维过程,因为您可能会更加厌恶它与您的未来有关。但是,如果您真的能够实现150万个流动性事件,请继续建立业务或开展另一个业务,因为您已经做了正确的事情,并且您可能会再次做到这一点,但可以更大范围。您需要评估售后销售是否可以作为图腾杆的底部,还是愿意以坚实的金融垫子来承担新的风险,以确保您度过日常生活。

Reaganomics10,,,,what's your opinion? Comment below:

Agreed, any of the things you would have learned by starting in a professional environment can be outsourced by hiring people with that experience once you start to scale.IBanalyst work is not that relevant to entrepreneurship, and the biggest benefit would be the resume building. If you already have a target school on your resume, I would probably skipIBaltogether. You answered the question yourself when you said you enjoyed being your own boss more than you would enjoyIB。In the end, there is no bad decision, and I suspect you will end up more successful than the majority of us on here.

Know a few people that were in your situation and did banking thenPE/ownbiz等…

知道有些人疲倦的愤怒分析师。但是现实是找到一家业务和发展业务是不同的技能,如果银行首先吸引了您,那么您可能不是纯创始人类型。那些从事银行业务的人确实成熟并发展到了一个水平,以真正发展他们的下一个冒险。

Are you the sole owner? A $1.5M cash out (or much less if you're diluted) may not be worth bailing on a highly lucrative eliteIB角色。尤其是因为$ 1.5的声音听起来更像是一种可能性(取决于几个月的磨削),而不是保证。

受风险调整的答案可能是去IB。If there were a higher ceiling on the business would be a no brainer but it's complicated.

perhaps you can ask your firm for a one year deferral given the circumstance and do both

1y
EBEntrepreneur,,,,what's your opinion? Comment below:

Hi, yes I'm the sole owner, revenue is roughly doubling YoY so 1.5 certainly isn't the ceiling. I'm thinking the best bet is to allow the business to coast for a year (perhaps hiring someone to take over temporarily) while working inIB,然后恢复business afterwards.

如何about incubator programs? These programs were created specifically to help start-ups succeed.

根据您发现的质量的不同,您可以访问:

1)许多以前曾经经营过成功的初创企业的导师

2)Various panels / workshops which are specific to scaling your start-up (Banking does not teach you how to improve operations from the ground up)

3)A network of various other start-ups (They usually accept cohorts) who you can learn and grow with (The people you meet in banking won't be as entrepreneurial)

尽管银行业客观上会有所帮助,但我认为,与您可以追求的其他途径相比,它将减少回报。

As well, it doesn't touch on other core skills required such as B2B sales, marketing, UX research, etc. etc. which you need to grow a start-up.

This is just my 2 cents!

我会咬的。
Here's my story:
在本科生期间,在5年跨度的每年平均销售量约为5亿美元。Sold it to aMMPEfirm. Walked away with 85% equity Which basically nets out $50m+

通过这样做,我在金融和技术领域建立了一个非常好的网络。
我没有在任何成熟的公司工作,也没有计划,因为疯狂的自由远远超过了加入一家大公司的声望。

What you should understand:
不管你是谁,如果你把一个好交易d have a decent understanding of the fundamentals, a potential buyer will respect you enough. No one asked me how old I was or what school I went to or whatBB我工作了。他们关心这笔交易。
可以在有或没有工作的情况下构建网络。我认为您需要与银行的其他百万美元创始人和经验丰富的高管交谈或PEfirm and etc. That's how you will know what you wanna do.

只是我的2美分。

Yes. It was mainly due to the partners I worked with. They been transacting for decades and were well connected. My specialty was the ability to run the team like a newly built ford.

I brought the business practices, they brought the行业知识和网络

Now, I just use my own capital to buy Low Mid-market firms with a few other new younger partners I have in a few industries that are interlinked. Basically working towards creating a decent smallconglomerate
