Should you join the HyperExits community?
Welcome to HyperExits.com. Our online home. It may please you to know that we are also a real life, in-person, face-to-face community too!
This post is intended to help you better understand if you may be a good fit for this community and whether you should join the Community pages section which we do “approve” you for.
Please note that not all applications will be accepted at the discretion of our editorial and community governance board (EGB).
You should apply to HyperExits if you are:
- A founder running an aaccelerator, venture capital, PE or Family Office backed business and want to learn more about Exits from those that have been there and “bought the t-shirt”
- An investor (Angel, VC, PE, FO or other institutional). If applying as an angel you will be required to share a reference for an angel investment you have made. Only professional emails can be used to sign up to this community. Sorry that means no [email protected] emails
- An Acquirer. If you work at a scaling startup or a SME / Corporate with an interest in acquiring a startup; this is a great place to be! The in-person events will offer a chance to mingle with other like minded Corporates that see startups as a way to Hyper-charge their growth (sorry we try and use Hyper as much as possible in our copy; they pay us to do this :)). Especially useful for those at Corporates working in Corporate Development, Office of the CFO, Strategy teams (yes the McKinsey and Bain [sorry you went under Monitor] types in-house) Innovation, Office of CEO and Board members.
- Advisor. We recognise the importance of both buy and sell side advisors. If you are a lawyer, accountant, strategic advisor, financial services provider on either side please do reach out. We do not want the environment to be salesy and for our community to be bombarded with offers of how good your firms are. Rather we will invite you to events (please go easy on the hard sell), Invite your to write posts with us (aligned with editorial standards) and off-course help us with sponsorship opportunities).
- Students. If you are at a leading University and wish to help expand your knowledge and perhaps land an internship by hustling and networking at our events, or volunteering and helping us with content because you are already involved with the startup community, are a student founder or are running a PE/VC club at University please do reach out to us through the Contact Us form on the site or my messaging on whatsapp at +447921161138 (We reserve the right to once again choose who gets to help and cannot take an unlimited number of volunteers).
HyperExits is a new, exclusive community dedicated to fostering knowledge sharing and collaboration among founders, investors, acquirers, and advisors in the realm of exits and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Founded by a group of seasoned entrepreneurs and venture capital investors, HyperExits aims to create a platform where industry professionals can exchange experiences, insights, and best practices related to successful exits and M&A strategies.
The community’s primary focus is on building a robust ecosystem of expertise through both online and in-person events. HyperExits’ online content platform maintains high standards of integrity, overseen by an editorial board comprising experienced journalists, founders, and investors. This ensures that the information shared is credible, unbiased, and valuable to the community. Importantly, HyperExits operates independently, without promoting any specific commercial interests, and is solely dedicated to serving its members. To maintain the quality and exclusivity of the community, much of the video content from events and educational opportunities is accessible only to approved members. The current board consists of:
- Yulia Yakovleva (15+ years ex JPM M&A)
- Aneesh Varma (Exited & Serial founder in Fintech; Techstars Barclays ’14)
- Farid Haque ( Founder, VC FoF AQVC.com, Startup Leadership Programme, Techstars London ’16)
HyperExits Editorial & Governance Board (Selfie: Yulia, Aneesh, Farid and Jeff)
HyperExits reserves the right to carefully curate its membership, both accepting new members and removing existing ones, to preserve the community’s value and integrity.
