Exits mark a significant milestone in the venture journey, but they are far from the end of the story. While much attention is devoted to financial outcomes and deal mechanics, the post-exit phase brings its own set of challenges and opportunities.

Understanding and planning for this phase is critical to ensuring that the benefits of an exit are fully realised, both professionally and personally.
