Sharpen the Tools to Secure Financing

April 21 | Mountain View, CA

Getting seed and Series-A funding in a downturn economy is tough ... so a young company needs to know how to best pitch and market their viability long BEFORE they go before their judges.

Investors want to back the best ...
- Teams with domain expertise in their target market space.
- Companies with a clearly articulated & believable growth path.
- Products (and services) with some level of defensibility ... built on technology or processes that are not easily replicable once the market starts growing alongs its"S" curve.
- Business models that scale to generate interesting valuation multiples over time.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to gear up for your first investor encounter and position your company for "capital" achievements.

Darrell Kong , Director of Venture Capital Services, Fenwick & West LLP
