San Diego Startup Week 2018

As entrepreneurs we start companies because something is broken and we want it fixed. We hack and slash our way to success, breaking every rule along the way to get an edge and disrupt our industry. Yet when it comes to selling our companies we put our entrepreneurial hats aside and don a set of blinders believing there are only a couple of paths to exit. Acquihire or acquisition.

Join us on a journey as Al Bsharah tells the story of how he took his company Email Copilot, put it on the market, and managed to close a deal in a way that most said they'd never seen done and would be nearly impossible to pull off. It was a risk that ultimately netted his investors and team a result that was far better than any "normal acquisition path" would have provided.
