Webinar: The Silent Value Killer: Governance Mistakes Investors Don’t Forgive
How much is weak governance really costing your startup’s valuation?
Corporate governance is often dismissed as “big-company bureaucracy,” but early-stage startups can pay a steep price for neglecting it. Weak leadership structures, unclear decision-making, and missing controls are easy for investors to spot during due diligence — and they can quickly lead to valuation discounts or tougher deal terms.
In this session, co-hosted with Konsento AG, we’ll explore how these governance gaps impact startup valuation in real terms, which weaknesses investors find most critical, and what founders and board members can learn from real-world cases. We’ll also show how you can strengthen governance early on without slowing your team down or compromising agility.
