It provides a clear recommendation for the best exit method based on your current growth rate and company stage. ### simulate_exit_scenarios This tool forecasts how changes in the market or shifts in your growth velocity will impact your exit plan. You can run simulations to see how different economic conditions alter your viability. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What is the best exit strategy for an early-stage company with accelerating growth and a 3-year timeline? ``` **Response:** ``` The recommended exit path is Acquisition, with a timing window of 2-4 years. ``` **Prompt:** ``` How prepared is my growth-stage company for an IPO in a Bear market? ``` **Response:** ``` The readiness gap is High. Priority actions include improving financial hygiene and increasing cash reserves to handle low liquidity. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What happens to my exit plan if my growth suddenly plateaus? ``` **Response:** ``` A sudden plateau will likely extend your timing window and reduce your readiness score, potentially shifting the recommended path from an IPO to a Secondary Sale. ``` ## Capabilities ### Determine Exit Path The AI uses the `get_exit_recommendation` tool to suggest the optimal exit method for your company. ### Identify Readiness Gaps It runs an analysis to pinpoint specific deficiencies between your current status and exit requirements. ### Forecast Market Impact You can simulate how external market shifts or internal growth changes affect your exit viability. ### Analyze Company Stage The MCP processes your company's growth metrics to tailor the exit advice. ### Plan Milestones It provides a structured set of preparation milestones needed to hit your target exit date. ## Use Cases ### Pre-Series B Review Run an analysis to see if your current growth metrics are sufficient for the next funding round and subsequent exit. ### IPO Preparation Determine the specific financial hygiene improvements and operational milestones required to meet public market standards. ### Market Downturn Planning Simulate a bear market to understand how low liquidity or reduced funding could change your exit timeline. ### Portfolio Assessment Compare multiple companies in your portfolio to identify which ones are furthest from an optimal exit path. ## Benefits - It converts complex market variables into clear, actionable exit recommendations. - You gain a quantified understanding of the steps needed to reach an IPO or acquisition target. - The MCP allows you to test how external market shifts impact your company's financial viability. ## How It Works Connecting your AI client to this MCP gives you immediate access to advanced financial modeling for exit planning.

It helps you understand the required milestones to hit a target exit period. **What kind of data does it need to run an analysis?** You need to provide details about your company's current stage, growth velocity, and any specific market conditions you want to test against. **Is this only for IPOs?** No. It handles multiple exit types, including acquisitions and secondary sales. The recommendation adapts based on the type of exit you are planning for. **Can I use this with my existing internal data?** The MCP processes the data you provide in the prompt. It is designed to take your existing metrics and apply specialized models to them. **What is the difference between the recommendation and the readiness gap?** The recommendation suggests the *best path* (e.g., Acquisition).
