Effectively raising capital is crucial for any company. Sufficient capital helps ensuring R&D, Due Diligence, Legal and Accounting services, Marketing, and improves hiring potential. In this session, a panel of VCs and CEOs will deliver the tips and tricks to realizing a successful financing process.
Questions that will be raised include:
• What are the steps to prepare for a financing round?
• What are the strategies for attracting, securing and structuring financing deals?
• Is there a valuation best practice for an emerging company in this complex environment?
• When to start your financing round, and when not to?
Our Panel discussions are interactive, informal, and intend to be a conversation more than a presentation. We aim to get you something you can act on. We want you to walk away with the real story behind how things work so you can make it happen yourself. So bring your questions with you! This Panel will be followed by a Networking Reception.
