The Strategic Rationale Behind Early Exits | Aaron Mendes & PrivacyHawk

Managing our digital footprints has become almost impossible without the right tech.

Personal data is more vulnerable than ever, and cybercriminals are ready to take advantage.

That’s where PrivacyHawk steps in — your defense against this growing digital chaos.

We're thrilled to have backed PrivacyHawk in its recent $3M funding round.

In this conversation with Aaron Mendez, CEO of PrivacyHawk, we discuss everything from dead weight on your cap table, the need for a better understanding of liquidation preferences, and why you're better off selling early rather than too late.
