About this Event
Nearly every startup CEO contemplates stepping down at some point. Many CEOs choose to step down to hand over the reins to their successor — or are asked to by the boards. Yet, this topic remains taboo: no one discusses it in public.
We will invite a few CEOs and VCs on stage to tell stories of CEO succession in startups, which are normally only discussed behind closed doors, sharing their experience with the startup community.
Some of the topics we'll cover:
- What is it like to step down as a CEO of the startup you founded?
- When does it make the most sense to step down?
- How do you start the conversation between the founder CEO and the board about it?
- How do you navigate company and personal finances?
- How do you choose the right successor?
- What's next for the founder CEO?
- What are the top mistakes founders make?
We will also celebrate the launch of Startup CEO Succession: a Founder's Guide to Leadership Transition — a definitive guide to this process by Evgeny Shadchnev. The hardcover will be available to buy at the event (select "signed copy" as the ticket type to guarantee availability). You can pre-order it on Kindle right now.
