Pre-Exit Value Creation
Many companies approach a potential transaction before they are fully positioned to command premium valuations. Revenue concentration, operational inefficiencies, gaps in financial reporting, or underdeveloped go-to-market strategies can leave significant value on the table.
Olor Ventures works alongside founders and management teams to identify and address these gaps—strengthening the business, improving margins, and building the operational foundation that acquirers and investors value most.
