Hey Rachel, your exit strategy is clear and concise it sounds like you have a good plan set in place for your opportunity.

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI like that you mention that you want to keep your exit strategy open. I also felt the same way as you about my own exit strategy.

I hope this helps. Best, Mehr.
