Large companies are recognizing that growth through acquisitions is often easier and cheaper than organic growth. This means that its easier for a large company to purchase a small company to gain entrance to a new market, rather than trying to break into that market themselves. Turn this realization to your benefit and have your startup leverage on giants to unleash its potential. What if you want to venture it yourself? Let our seasoned presenters walk you the Public offering path. IPO as an exit strategy offers the greatest risk, it also offers potentially the greatest rewards. Through our workshop tread the nuances of going public and what you can reap from it. Understand how to sustain performance and how to cope up with the diluted ownership. With this workshop you will be in a position to raise enough capital to see your startup enter a new dawn of success.
