Planning for COM6
The #1 task every Founder should obsess about is what their company is likely to look like at COM6 (cash out minus 6 months).
If the COM6 projection describes a very attractive growth company that can raise capital at or above the last valuation then *chef’s kiss*.
If not, the Founder should choose to:
1) Refactor the operating plan such that COM6 is attractive
2) Work with the current Investors to infuse additional capital into the company
3) Plan to sell or wind down the company
You shouldn’t put off having these conversations because solving problems while you’re “seeking oxygen” is extremely difficult and contentious.
