Liquidity Events

A liquidity event is an umbrella term that describes the conversion of an investment into cash or its equivalent. A liquidity event is a typical exit strategy of a startup company, since the liquidity event typically converts the ownership equity held by a company’s founders and investors into cash. It ofte3n takes the form of an acquisition or merger, or an IPO.

Managers of startup companies contemplating the details of a liquidity event may find that it can be difficult to see “the forest through the trees.”
