The $75M Term Sheet: Creating Outcomes Without Waiting for the Perfect Exit

Drawing on his experience building 10KC, David Wilkin shares the strategic decisions, pivots, and lessons learned from creating long-term enterprise value in an environment where there is rarely a "perfect" exit. Through a keynote followed by a fireside conversation with Ali Asaria, this session explores how founders can build enterprise value and keep multiple paths open, positioning the company to attract and close the right strategic and PE term sheets rather than waiting for ideal market conditions.

Session Focus:

• Creating enterprise value before liquidity exists
• Building optionality through concrete decisions
• Why you don't wait for a perfect exit
